    Looks like a better than average
    example of ejection/mechanical doubling.

    It is not double struck, imo , and it is not a doubled die.

    Are we aloud to ask potential value of an example like this? I've considered ebay but without knowledge I'm afraid I wont accomplish its full potential and/or may keep it for my personal collection if that valuable.

    Looks cool, but I agree with Mr. Weinberg.

    What they are trying to say is, it is worth 25 cents.

    It is a great example (extreme example) of mechanical doubling and may have some novelty value int hat regard, but it is not a doubled die.

    A very extreme example of Machine Damage Doubling. Even the nose is distorted, along with the TR in TRUST.

    You can't sell it as a Doubled Die, but someone might like it on E-Bay anyway.

    Just make sure you correctly list it a MDD.

    Thank you, that certainly tells me what I need to know. Thanks to all!

    Ebay is the ONLY venue for this type of
    anomaly.

    Imo, you should start it at .99 cents - it will bring
    what the market bears.

    Most coins with this type of doubling carry NO premium,
    but I could see your coin bringing a few dollars or so.

    If you start it out at $9.99, it won't sell, in my view.

    It IS worth a premium because it is an extreme example of MD.

    How much, probably not much, but still more than 25 cents. eBay is your best bet for selling.

    I agree Fred......the extreme nature means it probably has some worth to it........visually more than monetarily.

    A nice find. Nothing major as noted, but still collectible. Does not have to be a $100 error to peak someones interest.There is a bit of an issue with the obverse rim at 12:00 as well.

    I noticed that as well but was unaware of the reason. Thanks for the info!

    Interesting... no premium, however, if I found it in change, I would definitely keep it in my 'education' box.... Cheers, RickO
