<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 1932945, member: 9474&quot;]My suggestion, as Idhair suggests is to learn how the striking process works.&nbsp; Learning this process will help you rule out that the coin in hand as being a doubled die. I promise with 100% certainty that it is not a doubled die.&nbsp; If this were the case, it would be the most dramatic doubled die since the 1955 lincoln.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So if its not a doubled die, what can it be.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know that answer 100%.&nbsp; It could be doubled struck, it could be PMD, it could be something else.&nbsp; Double struck coins can exhibit &quot;doubling&quot; in some areas and not in others.&nbsp; Some double struck coins are very dramatic and exhibit a complete second strike and others do not.&nbsp; This is why collecting errors and varieties are so much fun.&nbsp; So many varieties.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a really neat coin and may have some market value, but what that is up to whoever is interested in the coin.&nbsp; Before sending any error or variety off to NGC or PCGS, consider sending the coin to a CONECA expert.&nbsp; It cost $5 which covers the evaluation service and standard return shipping.&nbsp; If you believe the coin is worth millions and&nbsp; want to insure it as such then it will obviously cost more for return shipping. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;A great book to own is &quot;The Modern Minting Process &amp; US Minting Errors and Varieties&quot; by James Wiles.&nbsp; It is produced by the ANA and is part of the ANA Correspondence course.&nbsp; It can be purchased separately or as a package.&nbsp; I will caution you that it is expensive ($45) but will explain everything you need to know about the minting process and then some.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
