well shoot... I thought the E Pluribus Unum looked the same from the picture and on mine.

gamr0n,

There are many of these that have some doubling. But, if you find THE DDR, you'll know it. The doubling is pretty dramatic.

Your coin show some minor strike doubling not true hub doubling- no premium.

I have certified examples of the four major doubled die reverses (including the big one).

Unfortunately, your example does not look like the four major ddr's. I have also found raw examples that match your coin almost exactly. I did some research and I also showed my example to Ken Potter (well known variety expert). His opinion was that it was not a significant ddr and that he had seen several as well.

The only ddr that gets a significant premium is the big one - the rest don't seem to get much interest.
