<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charlottedude, post: 919598, member: 26010&quot;]I have all three of Doug Winter&#039;s books on Charlotte coinage and while he notes light strike die doubling to the date &amp; some of the stars, it must be very light in nature. I&#039;ve yet to observe this or the reverse clashmarks he mentions, on any example I&#039;ve examined in hand, which now numbers anywhere from 14-15 over the last 20 years. Looking at his 3rd edition book on page 100, there is a good close up pic of the date.&nbsp; Other than what appears to be some minor recutting of the lower serif and base of the 1, there is no doubling. Either way, I doubt you&#039;d be able to see it in the OPs photograph to make an assertion.&nbsp; Again, they frequently exhibit roughness on the reverse, a characteristic that I&#039;ve seen on all examples I&#039;ve examined.&nbsp; The roughness and associated voids on the reverse planchet could have easily obscured any clashmarks that may have been on the die at the time... I&#039;m not aware of them from my personal observations.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Charlottedude[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
