1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list).

... This is known as "mechanical doubling", or "strike doubling".

This is mechanical doubling and not a doubled die. My video explains how to tell the difference.

Welcome and glad to see you posting questions.
Mechanical doubling (MD) can be very deceiving and subtle or strong like your example.

The video will take you along way to understanding it and being able to recognize it.
