Mostly die fatigue.... NO doubled die..... Looks like there could be some machine doubling which carries no numismatic premium. You will need to show pictures of the full coin as well, both sides. Cheers, RickO

You have to ask yourself:
If I am finding all of these super rare doubled dies (some with known pops of 2-3) is it too good to be true?
The answer is yes.
You are seeing what you want to believe. Sorry. They are rare for a reason, and you have better odds at winning the lottery without buying a ticket.

I thought (and nearly wrote) something similar yesterday.

If you're going to look for doubled dies, you should take the time to learn and study the characteristics of true hub doubling (hard to find) vs non value added mechanical and die deterioration doubling (lots in circulation). It's also a good idea to learn how dies are made.

You may think studying and learning is wasting your search time, but not learning about dies and doubling characteristics is what will really wastes your time
