A Cool find!!

 

Friends,

While doing a few pics this week I ran across a surprise. There are no varieties for this date but this seemed interesting. I will get some better pics later on.

Hi Rick,

 

I may be completely wrong but I think that what you have is a case of Strike Doubling rather than a product of a Doubled Die. With almost 3.4 million sets produced in San Francisco and 50 years for the discovery the odds are against a Doubled Die. If the Die were to have moved between strikes from the Hub (a Doubled Die) there should be at the least hundreds if not thousands of examples.

 

But look, it took more than 60 years to find the Medium High Relief Proof Peace dollar in a dealers junk dollar bin. Although in that case there were less than 20 likely closer to 10 produced.

 

I hope you have found a real 21 century treasure... good luck.

 

John
