Why don't you post a detailed picture of the entire coin, we might see something you missed.

That sounds like a good idea. There's a possibility that it could be double struck with the first strike being weaker than the second.

Iposted a micro shot of the D mark and a pic of the whole obverse,nothing stood out on the reverse,but I will dig it out and take a more pictures if you like,but I think if you look at the first picture it shows the biggest detail.

It might be less expensive to buy a camera with a great macro setting, like Daniel has. To sell coins, you do not have to show mint marks up close. Dan

Not only that, I begin noticing a problem with my images, they where magnified and showed little marks on the coin that couldn't been seen by the naked eye. I have feedback that states the coins look better than the pictures. So, in trying to give the most accurate images for buyers, I went over board.

I would go Daniels route as I am not an expert in picture taking.I liked the microscope pictures because you can really get down to very fine details like cracks in VAMS and the other points you can not really see with the naked eye.I got my microscope at a yard sale for a dollar,but again a nice camera for normal shots and the scope for details you want to show off.EBAY can be brutal for selling coins,but good luck.

This is a pretty interesting coin. Have you sent it to anyone? Can't be an RPM as already stated and doesn't look like strike doubling. I did a quick overlay using a 1998 D example and surprisingly the leg of the trailing A in AMERICA actually goes right through pretty much the exact area where your shows the doubling. Looks a little too strong to be a clash but guess it's possible.

I'd personally go with some kind of die deterioration.

Yes, of course, but I am confident that's what it is and it does give it a little more value.

I know this is an old thread but I wanted to give it a bump because I just found an exact same coin as the OP. This is the only place I can find any info on this coin.

Did Dixieroadie found his coin and send it in? What was the verdict on this coin?

I'm new to die variety collecting and this is my first "good" find in 2 months of looking.

No new news on this coin but's more likely a die clash because a couple of us didn't pay attention to the date and after 90' there can't be RPM's

No repunched mint marks 1990 and later so this is either a hidden clash mark or some type of die wear. It will not add any value to the coin and I first commented thinking the date was a 1988 and completely blundered this topic.
