Could this be Gemini Liberty? Two profiles. Two noses, two sets of lips, two chins, etc. the twin is there right by her side.

Right off the bat the word LIBERTY is missing on the obverse. There is no need to do an in depth analysis of this coin as it is not genuine.

Must have been a garage sell at the guys house that lost the bags full of counterfeit Morgans in the storage unit auction off.  Maybe related to the infamous casino counterfeit silver dollar seller. 

Lol, you’ve been weighed, measured and twitterized . At least JP found some kind of connection 😂

Welcome to the A-wokening. 
reminds me of an old song some guys I knew back it the day always played by Frank Zappa.  “It can’t happen here”

or maybe Cyndie’s “true colors shining through”

In all due respect all, Keep up the good work guys! even though there is no longer a reverence to numismatics y’all have tried hard to “hang on to what you’ve got”.  

🫡👍

Looks counterfeit to me, a replica/token with an attempt at chop marks to create a semblance of the real deal.

I have also heard rumors of other "errors" created in the middle of the night at the mint when some workers were bored.  

I would be curious to know if there were other error coins out in the wild involving an Ike die and cent planchet, which should exist if there was a mistake run with the wrong planchets.  And they are certified by NGC, so there is that.

All I can say is all of the OMG stuff in error collecting only shows the lack of knowledge of the process or a lot of processes for that matter. What kind of fumes were floating around the mint the night they started minting the famous 1955 LWC DDD. If you were in the headstone business you would have to have filed bankruptcy. But because it came from the USMint the blunder became a valuable collectors piece. I wonder what kind of whiskey they were drinking the night they punched that one.

I would take the info there with a grain of salt, but there is often useful information and ballpark values that are helpful.

About offset strikes, how about the attached which is a matching pair 40% off-center strike of an Ike dollar die on cent planchets, which has nice toning.  I am curious to see how much it goes for, but it should be big money as a single 40% off-center strike Ike on the correct planchet went for $3k earlier last year at GC.

I can’t believe this is a real assessment. This error has no more value than a cud, crack or mechanical doubling. There is no way in reality and controlled functionality an error like this can exists. These planchets had to be placed purposely in the press by hand in the attempt to achieve fullness and the single press ran manually in an attempt to fraudulently create error. It is no more than a counterfeit deception.  It is like everyone at the mint that day was high and said “let’s try this”…This is the one only times I have fully agreed with Kurt, error collecting has no controlled boundaries other than proven varieties.

Why? Or “how” did this little piece of copper survive the histories?

I am old, retired and appreciate freebies. You got any of those awesome winged liberties with the pesky D’S to share.  Lol    good luck, I’ll definitely keep an eye on it…

As JKK said, many different kinds of exposure. I left out the green and black ones, lol.

I had to put this coin up the finish reminds me of a Morgan . I think it is odd that these are called SMS coins but that's the designation in the NGC Registry  there are 14 of them total.

I’m telling ya, you put a beard on this guy and it would look like a possible kin folk of Hog’s. Lol 
Hope you all have no problems with this storm setting in on ya.👍

Quite the observation Bill, I thought JP had a new error find.  🤔

Soon to be handed down to the second generation recipient along with a complete history. “Thanks to @James Zyskowski for the suggestions! “

Looking at my mint uncirculated set I don't see any doubling on either the "D" or "P" on the spike. Since I'm a novice my only recourse is to research and ask questions for what I don't know. I have only found this one coin, and have not seen any information on it.

If you had not asked the question I would probably have never looked. With that, all of the coins l showed above are D mint, and depending on the light source, several appear to have similar strikes.

I found one just like this just now. Are you talking about the spike. 

If I had a set up to get a better image like this my observation of these coins would be much easier to share.

That is what I was referring to. 

I had a couple of these near by so I thought I would check it out.

Tell ya what, I'll go all in and raise the pot to this.  200 ounces of pure copper.....

Let’s see, that’s about 50 bucks worth of copper. I saw these proof type copper coins going for 9 to 12 bucks each at an auction last weekend. 🤭 you are a little light on the all in, you got an old red Chevy truck you want to throw in, or a flying eagle or two….lol

I see your raise, and raise you a Buffalo…..Up to you Mr. Bill. 😁

Here ya go Bill. L.50  Italian Lire....  I found it in a roll of dimes. It is the smallest coin I have except the Belgium 25 c  I have next to widows mite is the smallest. It is 1.5 cm, nickel in color it has a R on one side I don't think it is for Replica on this coin .. LoL  and on the other side I think the R is for the designer of the art work. there is a name on the bottom on the bust side Which may be the obverse I could be wrong, there are members here that know a lot more than me and may correct me.. 

I believe Revenant was discussing his L coins in another post. 🤔 I could be wrong but now that I have seen this coin it “bares” a semblance to what I understood then might be being talked about. 

Thank you all. I know my photography is lacking but I keep trying. 👍
