I have several of these but this one has a different color to it, it also has a different 4. As well as some doubling I believe on the reverse. Any idea if this of any value or just a cool find? I'm 3 months in to this and this one has me pondering. Thanks in advance!

    First, do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see fine detail.
    Not sure what you mean by a different 4 , it looks normal. Also I do not
    see any sign of doubling. Coins can change to many colours, depending
    on the environment they have been exposed to. I don’t see anything that
    would add a premium to your coin. Sometimes if you increase the size of
    the photo enough, you can see all sorts of anomolies. TPG’s only use a 5X
    loop to look at coins so anything that shows up larger than that is irrelevant.

    The doubling shown in the photos of the reverse is from ‘mechanical doubling’,
    Which is not considered an error – good observation, but it’s not significant

    Looks like it is just in need of a dip to rid it of the nasty. I recommend The Weiman's. RGDS!

    Thank you, again I'm learning. I have no idea why the pictures uploaded like that as it wasn't a screenshot but me taking a picture of my microscope screen. I appreciate all the feedback! Hoping to find something valuable one day, back to picking 🙃

    Welcome. That is what he means, it is a photograph of a computer screen.
