[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2078917, member: 71510"]I looked at these. What I see is that the image ghost from each opposite side is showing through, and the metal on each opposite side is fatigued and pressed out. It's as if there was too much pressure on the image and it "pushed" through the other side of the coin. It's hard to capture this on my phone camera through the slab plastic - but it's very apparent to the naked eye in person. I see evidence of doubling in several places on the obverse, and the reverse shows Lady Liberty's head being outlined very clearly in fatigued metal. After reading about a clash - it doesn't appear this is a clash. This looks like there was a lot of pressure that pushed the image through to the other side of the coin. I think I'll visit a coin shop tomorrow and get a second set of eyes on it. As I look at the coin more, I find all kinds of weird things. There's some sort of crack in the "L" in Liberty. See attached picture. [ATTACH]386351[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
