unfortuneately that is not a double strike... but it is called a die clash... it occurs when the 2 dies that strike coins come together and hit each other without a coin in the way... this leaves an reversed impression in the opposite die... much less valuable then a double strike but still very neat... this particular example is one of the hardest die clashes I have ever seen... and it appears to have happened a couple of times...and that die pair was prob. retired shortly after... neat coin

That's a great example--and nicely photographed.

Great example of a doubled die clash. Much better than anything I have found.
Really really good pictures. The coin is very close to magnificent.
Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad I seen that I haven't seen one like it. And I am glad LostDutchman done a good job explaining it thanks a lot.
