I found this 2008 P Presidential dollar that looks like every thing on the rim is double die but I need help identifying it. I couldn't find anything on the web that looked like this. Thank you.

So like the ATB Quarters, the collar/edge striking collar has raised devices. So even the slightest movement before/during/after the addition to coin would make it look doubled, but it isn't a doubled collar/striking collar. Just Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 11/07/2019 2:22 pm It looks like normal edge lettering. The incuse design and the lighting may cause the letters to look slightly doubled, but I don't see an error. I've never heard of the edge lettering being "doubled die." I have seen doubled lettering on the edge, but that's really obvious, as it been impress twice and can even be upside down to one another.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/07/2019 9:01 pm What causes that edge? The devices are incuse. (raised on the die) so to make it plow into the edge of the coin, it has a wedge shape to push the metal aside to form those devices. The chizel edge is what your are seeing.
