A very interesting coin--perhaps photos can be posted here? I wonder if this coin is a doubled die versus a double-struck coin? When a coin is double-struck, the detail from the first strike is often flattened by the second impression. But here, there is doubling of the legends and other designs is of an equal height. Of course, it would be very unusual to have a doubled die on both obverse and reverse--what do others think?
