    What I like is your really long sentence. I'm lousey at Enlglish, but you got me beat. Don't know where the .... things are on the keyboard, huh? By the way what is the denomination of that coin. In other words is it a penny, nickel, dime or what? Is there a mint mark on it? What condition is it in. Why can't you post a photo of it here? You were ale to put a coin at the far left over your name so why not just put that coin there instead if you can't figure out how to post it.

    It looks alot like one that was for sale on Ebay recently. There were a couple of experts here that said it was not real.

    There is too little of Washington's bust visible relative to the strength of the second LIBERTY. The first strike is too little affected by the second strike. The first and second design elements are smoothly blended. A genuine double strike should show sharp but intermittent penetration of first-strike design elements through second-strike design elements. The surface beneath the second strike shows a peculiar roughness. The obverse design elements seem out of alignment with the reverse design elements. Second strike design elements are poorly defined.

    These are some of the ways you can tell it was struck with fake dies on the second strike.
