<p>[QUOTE="rascal, post: 1524296, member: 29239"]My opinion is that this coin was struck with a worn out die. I have a few of these and they appear to be from the same die as your's so this is why I think they are from a worn out die. the sunken in area near the date was caused by a warped die . this also may be what caused the date to appear doubled. The part that looks like a extra mintmark is probably what we call zinc rot and the zinc is showing thru , the raised area in front of the ear is probably also zinc rot and making the copper plating swell out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
