Looks like the coin received a very strong strike and split the plating in various areas.

Neat looking whatever the cause particularly the letters and the sand spackle and brush mark looks all over.

I'm not talking about the obvious and severe split plating. Its how the letters look split from the inside and spread wider that was making me question hub doubling

Die wear, MD and split plating....not a doubled die, I don't see any notching. This issue gets me all the time, a lot of the coins look like this due to over-use of the dies and fairly high striking pressures.

Note the overall size of the devices are normal. The tops of the devices have been affected a bit in circulation. Not a doubled die. Probably 2004 DDR is the only one I can think of with enlarged devices on all the devices:   Mostly bar cents on the columns or on the EPU devices. |

Ok COOP I have a question....what is device? I know that is a Basic coin term and I believe your referring to the "base and top of the coin?" Also, serif....is that the tips of the base and the top of letter and numerals? I apologize to all you experts if I sound like a newbie....Oh wait 1, I am a newbie lol, lol, lol! After serving 22 years in the army and now retired (my wife says retarded, ha) I am very persistent and WILL FIND THAT ELUSIVE DDO AND DDR with the communities help, thank you in advance! Sarge |

Devices are letters and digits. Design is the busts and the buildings and other designs. On the two images I posted earlier, it is a set of normal devices and the image below that is showing the enlarged devices. I call these side by sides to show normal and doubling on t die. Take another look at the images. Note corresponding devices and note the difference in size of the devices.

Ok, what I'm seeing with my rested eyes is the "stem" of the straight devises are puff or fat mostly towards the bottoms of the devises (width) and the "curved areas" of the devises with curves are "fat" at the arched areas? Hope that made sense? Sarge
