No but you can go to CONECA (errors website) website and look it up. Don't take my word for it. If it's an error it will be there. A Very Good Group if you like errors. It's worth joining. 

 

Good luck

Is this a double die?

It looks like machine doubling -
Mechanical doubling, also called machine doubling or strike doubling, a form of doubling which appears on a coin and is easily confused with doubled die strikes. On a true doubled die coin, the doubling comes from a mistake in the process used to make the coin die itself. In mechanical, or machine doubling, the doubled image results from mechanical issues during the striking of the coin, such as the coin shifting during striking, or the die itself being jarred out of position as a result of vibration or improper coin press maintenance.

Mechanical, machine, and strike doubling are all considered by purists to be forms of damage, and are therefore not collectible as an error coin.

I would have said that (not that way) but I send them to CONECA website so they can learn about the group and also see what they have to offer. 

 None the less good job
