Here's another one to stump you with. How was this created?

This looks to be made with a soft die outside the mint. However, I'll send Mike Diamond this link to be sure.

Either a real double struck coin or most likely it was made by a soft die.
Showing the reverse and entire coin out of a flip might make it easier to tell from pics.

The soft, blended overlap and the lack of disturbance of the normal design elements strongly indicates that the faint set of design elements was produced by a fake die of relatively soft consistency. So I agree with BJ.

Thanks for the comments. I learn something new everyday. I hadn't heard of a soft die before and will have to read up on the subject.

JON, Mike is the man to check with.
