Is this error real? I'm on the fence......I promise I didn't find it in a parking lot

COINS MAKE CENTS

What say you? I'm on the fence if this error is real. It is being offered to me at a show I am set up at currently. Do you believe this is a true double struck in collar?

Thanks for any help!

My guess is that it’s a genuine coin over struck with a false die.

The obverse detail is soft and incomplete in areas where it shouldn’t be. The reverse is the typical warping that you see with these 196X false die strikes.

I agree with the above explanation and conclusion – it’s not a genuine double strike in the collar,
in my opinion either. These were fairly common around late 1964 and 1965.

Well, the expert has spoken. I now know what side of the real or fake fence I am on! Thank you!

Can you point out the warping?

(I agree with the conclusion that this is a false die strike, for the other reasons mentioned. I'm just curious about the warping part.)
