1965 25c in pocket change this week, double die?

[Diggincoinz]

Just caught this before putting it in my pocket to spend, what do you think of it?

Notice the "WE" and also the doubling from his eye brow all the way down to his throat in front of his face.

Any suggestions?

Yeah, this is something that fools a lot of collectors. This looks like a doubled die, but it's what's called "strike doubling". Strike doubling doesn't carry any collector value. I guess you could say that strike doubling is more on the side of just poor minting than on the side of collectable error coins. Here's the address to my error coin website ~ http://community.webtv.net/oddcoins/NeilMcElroyspagefor

It's definitely doubled......hope it's worth something! I'd probably stick it in a quarter holder and hang on to it!

Crap! I was hoping to be on to something here.

What about this 1960 Nickel I have?
