Coin discovery and photo by Shawn and Shelly Bell of bigbuckbell ebay auctions.
It seems that we might be finding this type of reverse doubling throughout the Presidential Dollar series, if Shawn Bell's discovery of this Adams Presidential Dollar Doubled Die Reverse is any indication. Shawn first reported this doubled die to me on July 20, 2007, but didn't want to go public with it until John Wexler had confirmed it. Although this looks like a "no brainer" next to the George Washington Doubled Die Reverses on the previous pages in this image gallery, I appreciate Shawn's extreme caution and wish that everyone would be so careful in their proclamations about these things! One just has to go look at the Error Coins category at eBay to see many examples of the sorts of spurious declarations I am referring to. Buying on eBay is a huge risk if you don't know your seller is honest, careful, and knowledgeable about attributing errors and varieties.

If you're searching rolls of Presidential Dollars, be sure to check this area on the reverse, but also keep an open mind because hub doubling can appear in other spots, too. I have some tips for becoming fast and proficient when searching through rolled coins or pocket change in my article outlining 8 easy steps for finding rare coins in pocket change.
