    a lot of Split Plating too (the thin copper plating gets split open and you see the zinc underneath).

    I saw that but my question is, is it only valid if its posted on vista? is there any other database that may have other listings?

    Yeah explains what I observed to be doubling right? Also this would not add any value right?

    Yeah you only have a short time to do an edit....but please load images in full it makes it much easier to see and determine. Varietvista is Coneca which I am a member and will assure you that if its a variety or error Coneca has in on their radar. I highly recommend joining its only $25 @ year and it will keep you in the loop with new discoveries as well afford you an easy access to experts whom with do attributions as should you need to send a coin in.
    And lastly I an a contributor to Error Scope Magizne in fact have a article in this issue,as well 4 others written to be published in the magazine for this year. The folks at Coneca are the folks you want to get to know...as they are some top names in this hobby.... who can help you.... if you with a discovery piece or plate coin. The yearly fee pays for itself many times over...its money well spent. ;) 20220918_210154.jpg

    It does and when there is shelf like doubling the split becomes more noticeable.
    A Gassy planchet with a plating that doesn't adhere to the core will definitely show added stress to the devices. It causes a void in the centre of each device, causing the permeameter to expand, it definitely has the look of a doubled die. But, still has nothing to do with the Die.

    If you post full-sized images, it is easier for us to see them. I saved one of yours and am posting it "Full Image". This one is "split-plate doubling, where the die moves during the strike and drags the metal. The copper plating is so thin, it stretches and finally breaks. I'm not really an error aficionado but there are a couple of sites (varietyvista is one) that catalog them. Perhaps someone will post the others. New varieties and errors do come up, doesn't hurt to try.

    You’re right, it shows doubling. It just not the doubling you want to see on a coin. There are many types of doubling and you should try and study them to understand the difference between them. The coin is worth face value but a common name for this is worthless doubling.

    Doubleddie.com has great reference material. Concentrate on the characteristics of true doubling vs worthless doubling. True doubling is due to errors in die manufacturing. Worthless doubling like MD and worn dies are from striking coins. Big difference

    Look at the characteristics of split serifs and widening and compare that to the flat appearance of MD. Doubleddie also has a good section on how dies are made. Starting to learn that will really help you

    As with anything, learning and studying takes time, but the more learn, the less time you'll waste chasing MD and worn dies
