[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 1857097, member: 13307"]Hello everyone! I just purchased this coin from a local coin shop today because I admired the design and it was in BU condition. (I only paid silver price for it.) When I got it home, I noticed that most of the reverse shows doubling with splits in the serifs. I would like to know if anyone else has one of these, and if this is the normal die (Master Die Doubling) or if this is a die variety. Krause does not list a DDR for this, but then I don't expect Krause to do so. (By the way, I do know the difference between strike doubling and die doubling, and this is definitely not strike doubling.) I have taken some closeups of some of the more prominent areas of doubling and highlighted them with red arrows. I think it will be pretty easy to see. I'd love to hear thoughts from some sub-Saharan specialists. Here is the information I already know: South Africa 1969 1 Rand KM80.2 "SUID-AFRIKA" Obverse Mintage of 506,000 .800 fine silver (.3858 oz ASW) Thank you!
