Double struck bust half in Heritage FUN auction

mepot

Has anyone looked at this coin ?Thought I might bid on it ,until I saw the reserve posted.

Took me out of the running.I've seen doubled/tripled profiles before,but I wonder how rare this coin is,and

what it might go for.Any thoughts?

Nice coin, but it is NOT double struck.
All I see is extreme die-bounce doubling on the obverse.

You can't have a multi-strike coin on one side and a single strike on the other.

While I'm neutral on whether this is a bona fide double-strike, I can tell you with certainty that you can have a visible double-strike on only one face. Numerous examples are known among 20th century proofs and business strikes of die rotations or major misalignments that occur between the first and second strikes.

Lots of double profile CBHs out there--I have several and they aren't worth that much of a premium. That said, they are more common in some years than others and die marriage is also a consideration. A double profile in and of itself isn't that big a deal. Ask the Bust Pros.

OOPS! I missed the date doubling! And stars 12 and 13. Still the same issue IMO, but the Bust Nuts need to comment..
