As shown here is 1912 China Empire XuanTong Year 3 dollar, doublings present on letter ONE DOLLAR. Is this real doubled die or Machine Doubling? Thanks in advance for your opinion.

Thanks Tanman but I honestly think it is Machine Doubling. Lets see others opinion.

Well that might be a first, someone disagreeing with me calling their coin a doubled die.

I say doubled die because of how the doubling fades away as it gets closer to the rim. Plus you can see doubling on the finer, lower-relief details like the scales and the clouds. Both of those characteristics I would not expect from typical Machine Doubling.

Sorry for being the first person...I really hope it is doubled die. As I mentioned in another post, I hypothesized that we should find two more world (China) coins with identical doubled die. I did find several this coins, they would prove my hypothesis if it is real doubled die.

The doublings of this coin likely occurred during the die struck on the planchet? It is tough call, the coin presents flat doublings to me.

Another reason that I have doubt on this doubling is a sale listing, see below picture. The listing says it is PCGS designated doubled die, however it can not be found by PCGS Cert#.

I found a TDO write up that mentions a DDO for the same year but it's a ghost!! I can't find info or pic on it anywhere..all PCGS links to it are broken.

Hi I found another DDO of this coin, I can see split serifs. What is your thought, Tanman and other friends?
