Please put as much info in the title as possible; they are crucial. * Hi you all i need a clarification for something that takes me wonder and I have not managed to solved. We all agree that the DD besides the more appreciated, it is the more difficult to spot for the unexperienced eyes. -At least it is my opinion. DD when there are outstanding besides beautiful are out of questions, the problem comes when there are DD but there so close to each die hit that confuse easily to the newbie. On those cases where involved the cents because the size are even more hard to find the truth. I have been looking pictures at those cases, and in my mind, DD has to have 3 line in that same font edge or side- 2 are the normal, right? But there are another trick, when watching with a cheap microscopy from Temu, the lights sent to the coin it is straight down and intense at it comes by diode lights and its generate a shadow all around the fonts making DD if it is no very conspicuous hard to spot. I managed to slant so the light angle can point to the edges or border clearer, but them it surprise me that now many of my 1970 cent looks like come alive, and show as possible DD. Wow! I need your advise please, so I can understand better fake from true. I going to post some pictures one or two classic DD from the web, and some mine so confusing, so you better give me your input. I used blue lines to try to show the different lines seen. Thanks in advance for you advice to better spot and take picture to rule out the true and the fake. Report this Post to the Staff

I think that you mean the former, but want to make sure. Thx.

Spence Moderator United States 33111 Posts	Posted 05/21/2025 09:23 am Ok good to know. Both pics from the web show somewhat subtle doubling; however, if you look at the bottom of the number 9 in that second pic, you will see a split. For me at least, that is a tell-tale sign of a doubled die. The IGWT (first pic) seems to have doubling on the horizontal bar of the letter T, but I'm not positive. Please duplicate these close-up images with your coin and post to this thread so that we can compare. Thx.

All the doubled die coins made from one set of dies have got to be exactly the same b/c the process they go through to make the dies makes it impossible for coins coming from those dies to vary at all. https://www.coinnews.net/2014/01/06...oduce-coins/ How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Apprendice New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 05/22/2025 08:30 am Good Morning Mr. Spence I am sorry for my delay to relay you. So apparently so simple as seen the details on the tip it was an ordeal which a cheap microscopy from shade to highlight unable to see on details. But I finally manage and that tip make the difference. I did not post the picture since it clear there are no double die. Thank you for the real clue. Report this Post to the Staff
