There are about 4 different varieties in the charrypicker's guide, but I can not find this particular one. The entire obverse is doubled. Check out the photos. Its in very nice mint state too. Anyone know more about this series and the doubling? Thanks in advance, view photos

....it appears to be machine or shelf doubling as evidenced by the flatness.

I had thought it was machine doubling! I did not list that because I didnt want to bias opinions. However, that does not explain the rest of the doubling on the coin. (except the date)
