Hey guys, did some half dollar coin roll hunting, and found this. It looks like has a error on "STATES" on the reverse. Double die? Any idea?

How the heck are you getting pics so clear that close....must be a heckava camera.
 

The "states" looks like strike doubling, the coin was pushed sideways, hence the "flat" look of the under image. The 72 looks like a double die.
 

You must have the patience of Job to discover something like that. :laughing7:

Thanks for your information. I agree with you. The first one does not looks not like double die, I saw double die usually all the letters are moved to one side, this one only move angularly.
