Distorted Hub Doubling

This coin exhibits hub doubling that occurred as a result of a die or hub expanding during the annealing process and not returning to its original size before being rehubbed.  An expanded die matched with a normal hub results in doubling toward the center.  An expanded hub matched with a normal die results in doubling toward the rim.  This is the most common class of hub doubling and is regularly found with 3 or more hubbings evident.

WE 37 of Date
Notice how the doubling flows toward the center from both areas of the coin.
