Hello all, just wondering your thoughts on this one. DOLL the lower and upper stars look Doubled. I could not match it up to any on VarieyVista. Thank you for the help,
Edward M.

Just Machine Doubling. Note the frosting of the cameo is missing on the areas you are looking at.

The coin is a normal proof coin, but the MD has altered the devices a bit. Nothing is enlarged, just normal sized. So it has not hub doubling and is not a doubled die.

Sorry, but that's Machine Doubling, not a Doubled Die Reverse. Machine Doubling is very common on Proof Strikes. Proof coins are struck twice, which double the chances of Machine Doubling.
