Bare with me on the pics. I see taking photos of proofs is going to be a whole new ballgame. I'm just not grasping what constitutes a DD. If nothing on the face of the die is moveable, How does just the motto get doubled and not the rest of the coin? So much to learn and so few brain cells left to absorb it all
The little bit of doubling that is visable in the second pic looks like like Strike Doubling to me,,
if you can picture a wheel on an axle then the process of how the doubling is most evident on the periphery of the coin is more understandable,,
the die is mounted in the holder on a center pin, if the die rotates slightly on impact with the planchet the outer edge will move much farther than the center.
while the center does move and minute doubling will occur toward the center the amount would be significantly less.
your coin shows a very small movement on the outside details,, the center would be almost imperceptable.
