  • Check for doubling of E PLURIBUS UNUM on the reverse.

    There are likely MANY different doubled dies in the date. Don't lead yourself astray by thinking you have to have doubling in a certain area or it's not a doubled die. Discovery of new dies would have ceased years ago if we all took that attitude.

    There isn't a '61 doubled die documented, and I would expect that if it is truly doubled, there should be doubling present on IG(W)T, since the letters are not individually punched. Without an image or some other ability to see the coin, not sure how anyone else is going to be able to offer a solid opinion, one way or the other.
