<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 3292578, member: 99642&quot;]Hi Vicki, though I&#039;m not an expert on anything, I will try to address your questions until the Cavalry gets here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Offhand, I would say you have no doubling to speak of. What you see around certain numbers and letters has several names but is most commonly called &quot; die deterioration doubling &quot;. The dies used to strike the coins begin to wear out and as they do, they cause the struck letters to spread out making them look wider or &quot; doubled &quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the good news is you appear to have two die cracks, one from the top right corner of the MEMORIAL BUILDING to the rim, and the other from the bottom right corner of the MEMORIAL BUILDING to the rim.</p><p><br /></p><p>When the experts show up, they will explain things further and better.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the meantime , Thanks for posting, and Welcome to <b><i>Coin Talk !!</i></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
