ANAcoincollector Valued Member United States 95 Posts	Posted 04/23/2025 1:38 pm I was looking at this medal under the microscope and found doubling. Based off of the looks, I thought it was just Machine Doubling, but I found that every other medal also exhibits this doubling. So now, I'm wondering if this is a doubled die. Here's a link of three other medals sold in a stacks-bowers auction exhibiting the same doubling on all three medals: https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...-mint-state? The doubling is on the reverse, and is most prominent in the inscription " ANA". More doubling is visible in other areas as including some portions of "Philadelphia" Does anybody have any insights?
