[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2576946, member: 112"]Howdy Bobbie - Yes, I see what you are seeing that makes you ask your question. That said, no I don't think the coin was double struck or over-struck - the terms that would apply if it were. What I think you have is fairly common, a coin with nothing more than random marks, that in conjunction with the human eye, seemingly create a ghost like image similar to parts of the design on the coin that our brains interpret as something they really not. In other words it's kind of a trick that our eyes and our brains play on us. edit - One more thing Bobbie, even it were a genuine double-struck or over-struck coin, it would have no value to speak of really - less than the cost of dinner.
