Re: Buying a Coin Book
What I do: For any coin I have with luster, it goes into a 2X2 or a coin capsule. These are the best ways to not lose luster. I then also store them with a silica gel pack. I do not let cardboard of any kind, this includes folders and coin albums (even Dansco albums which will tone coins over time),...

I agree. THings like this are just not worth the time and effort. They are common, random, and hold no value to the legitimate coin hobby. eBay shysters try to hype them up hoping to sucker people out of their cash.

The pictures are too fuzzy to tell for sure, but it looks like the date took a hit in circulation or, as Daniel said, strike doubling. A double struck coin looks a lot differen...

Having it in hand is always better than trying from pictures. So since you cannot see it in hand, it is likely never going to be known.
