Okay, so it's not the cup of tea to many collectors, but there is a certain crowd out there who like the "wavy steps" doubled dies on modern Memorials. These are created in the single squeeze hubbing process, and the collective expert opinion is that the die starts out misaligned in the press, then snaps into proper position after the squeeze begins. More often than not the result is a simple mushing waviness on the steps of the memorial where the columns started to press into the steps then were dragged into their proper position.
These wavy step doubled dies are listed by CONECA, NCADD, coppercoins, Billy Crawford, and Ken Potter. They generally sell for $10-$25 with the higher values brought by the better specimens such as the one I am posting for your enjoyment here.
I now introduce you to 2005P-1DR-001, class 9 shifted hub doubled die, reported to me by Robert Tingle.
