<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 2962370, member: 73983&quot;]I picked this coin up on eBay.&nbsp; After getting it home, I notice it had some very interesting doubling going on with the obverse and reverse.&nbsp; So I went to Wexler&#039;s and checked out the listed varieties there.&nbsp; The obverse was almost a dead match to the WDDO-002 in terms of the doubling on the date.&nbsp; But that&#039;s where this coin and the coin on Wexler&#039;s start to diverge.&nbsp; None of the die markers for the Wexler listed WDDO-002 are present, including the dot in front of the chin, die scratches on the forehead or the doubling present on the upper feather.&nbsp; My example shows fairly strong doubling in the second hair knot at the bottom.&nbsp; That doubling is not mentioned on the Wexler example.</p><p><br /></p><p>Flip the coin over and I start seeing indications of die doubling on the reverse around the Motto and FIVE CENTS.&nbsp; To complicate things, there is some strike/die deterioration doubling as well.&nbsp; I am including photos below for you to make your own conclusions and let me know your thoughts.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]725271[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]725273[/ATTACH] </p><p>There is no apparent doubling in the top feather, not the die crack across the long feather.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]725274[/ATTACH] </p><p>There is no dot on the end of the chin.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]725275[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the reverse.&nbsp; Notice the doubling around the motto and AMERICA.&nbsp; Most interesting is the dot between OF and AMERICA.&nbsp; It looks almost like Longacre Doubling but that would be impossible for this coin.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]725272[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]725276[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>FIVE CENTS is very interesting as well.&nbsp; Note the light doubling at the very tops of the letters followed by the wide spread of the strike/die deterioration doubling.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]725279[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
