But it is a die variety! A 1907 Panama 1/2 cent with a nice DDR. I think they might be more common with the doubling than without, though...

Very nice coin Steve. I believe you are right about their being a lot of doubling on this coin series. I spent a little time in Panama and remember bringing home a couple. I will have to go through the box of world coins I gave my daughter and see if I can find them. (every place I've ever been I brought home coins from that country and put them in a box for her. She thought they were so cool...especially the coins with holes in them!) There should also be quite a few different varieties on the one cent coins from Panama if I am not mistaken.

Hub doubling is hub doubling, and it's all interesting to look at, regardless of how common it is. I have a Greek coin with minor quadrupling on it...It's common and not much, but I've spent a lot of time looking at it.

Steve - Is that the "1907/1907" coin listed in my Krause book?
Is the date doubled too?

Chuck, quadrupling on it! 
Wow! I didnt even know that was possible in coins, how many hubs does it take to bring out the design in a die in a US Coin?
When I make it back home, I will pickup 4 lbs of world coins (already paid for) and search them for varieties. Im especially interested in coins from Latin America since I believe they are prone to varieties.

About the Panama 1/2c coin, Krause actually states "previously listed re-engraved overdates were struck from very common doubled dies. The plain date in Unc is scarcer."
I checked my XF 1/2c and it has the same doubling as in the photos above but the date and other side appear normal.
Here's a Yugo coin with some neat doubling :

I saw that also, tbirde. It makes me wonder how many dies that they used in the run of 1M coins. The reverse could also master hub doubling.
Looks like mine is also the clear date. I'm going to have to see if I find one of the recut dates...
Thanks for showing apache's Yugo coin again. Man, that's a nice one!
