    Well, I have had this coin for a while, I got it in circulation in the state of Sonora, Mexico in the mid 1990s. The words 'ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS' seem to have some doubling going on, but I don't really notice it anywhere else on the coin....
    So, I was just wondering what type of error this would be considered, or if it would even? Any input would be appreciated.

    Two of the photos are off colored due to camera troubles....

    doesn't look like real doubling to me but i'm no expert, any chance at closer pics?

    I'll work on closer pics, I assume you enlarged these.... but you do see what I am talking about though right? the bottom of the words 'ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS' the letters look '3-D' almost.

    The "doubling" around the letters looks to me more like some form of die deterioration. There looks to be something around the cacti that may be more promising.

    I dunno. I was going to say machine doubling, but the more I look at the lettering, the less sure I am about that. Better photos would help.
