    @Stuart Even though doubling is seen in the lettering, you need to make sure it is not machine doubling. If you come to Oklahoma City next week, stop by our BCCS club table so we can see your half dollar in hand to confirm.

    @Sedulous. Thanks very much for your kind invitation and sharing your guidance regarding my 1892 Barber Half. 😎👍

    I’m not planning to attend the OKC ANA Convention, but would have certainly taken you up on your offer if I was going to be there. 😃

    Since I’m not a Barber series specialist, I appreciate the expertise of others who are more familiar with the striking characteristics of them, expressing their opinions that this coin more likely exhibits machine doubling.

    When I receive the coin, I’ll carefully examine it under magnification with my Binocular Microscope for a more detailed analysis.
