    Hint of VERY MINOR strike doubling.

    There is almost ZERO chance of finding an unknown doubled die variety of a 50 year old coin. Rather than ask us, rely on the cherrypicker's guide. If it isn't in there, it is 99.99999999% sure you are looking at post-mint damage (PMD) or strike doubling.

    Furthermore, anything that is not clearly visible with a 7x glass is almost certainly worthless. Frankly, 95% of what's in the cherrypicker's guide has little or no added value to most collectors.

    All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.

    I agree with @jmlanzaf ....I do see what you have outlined in your pictures... It is not a doubled die.... Real doubled dies are fairly obvious and most do not take super magnification.... Cheers, RickO

    Thanks. Actually the pictures are cropped so they appear larger and more up close but the pictures were taken through a basic jewlers loop lens. So I think it's around 7x magnified . But okay thanks guys ! :)
