Titles are Important! * I think I see doubling in the reverse at the pillars. Please look the front and back over closely. I have other coins that appear to have doubling also. I would like to know how to understand it and see it properly. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/26/2018 02:44 am As part of the design, the LMC reverse shows what appears to be doubling on (left to right) columns 1, 5, 8 and 12, toward the center. This is to represent the depth of the actual space and columns behind the foremost ones. You can see those additional vertical lines in this pic: I hope this helps, and if this isn't what you are asking, sorry.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 12/26/2018 09:16 am Many look for even the slightest doubling. For me if you have to really try hard to see the doubling, I just ignor it all. Report this Post to the Staff
