Bradlsu New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 4:45 pm As a newbie, I'm having the hardest time distinguishing Strike Doubling from double die. I believe this is Strike Doubling, but just wanted to confirm. Any advice distinguishing between the two is helpful! Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 5:17 pm You should always post what the date is on the coin in question. From the photos, this looks like Mechanical Doubling to me. This page: http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/m...oubling.html shows some of the ways to tell the difference. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 5:49 pm Correct. Machine damage always reduces the devices from a small amount to a large amount. Here is something to see what I'm talking about: Note on the left the reducing of the devices-center the normal size of the devices-a doubled die showing how they devices are increased in size. Hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff
