The coin in the picture doesn't show any doubling I was using it as an example to how when the copper to me looked like it had been peeled,pulled,and yes splitting how ever it came off,shows more straight,flat,not as rounded images,and just thinking that if that part of the design may resemble more of the features of the die before it is pressed into the coin,i have seen pictures of coin dies from side views so I have to speculate how they look when the design is etched on to them from my past experience in molding or pressing things together leaves a similar but different than the raw design impression,so could it be when we see a little notch at the bottom of a coin or extra thick letters with no out line of a double image is it because that the doubling is so close to the raw design that after pressed it doesn't show the full doubling,that the finished coin that shows the design more rounded covers it up.it is just a theory and I have put it into words the best way I can to try to explain what causes an extra thick letter or a little notch on the bottom,please don't misunderstand I am not saying they are not double dies,i am only speculating as why we may not see a full double image and am looking for any one else that may have a theory or has seen the face of a die and put a coin up to it to see the difference from the raw die to the finished coin.
