Can anyone please give me a good definition and example of this form of doubling, example the 1983p LMC. I've looked at cc website but I'm still not sure on how to recognize this dd. Thanks

Light to moderate spread is a way of describing the doubling on a vast number of more minor doubled dies. It's not an identifier for one particular doubled die. Please post the die number you need help with, and I will try to better describe the pick-up points so you will better know how to find them.

EDIT**Guess I was beat the the source by the source** :)

I don't know the specifics...but I would be willing to say "Light to Moderate" would be between No doubling and Strong Doubling. I know that probably sounds obvious but If you first get to know what the date/feature should look like with out doubling you can then distinquish Light Doubling as compared to Strong Doubling. Here are two pics of which I would say one is Light Doubling and one picture with Strong Doubling.

To me this is not a exact science. I could be way off. But this is my opinion of the two.

These are from a 2011P and are from Coppercoins website

Light-a little extra thickness than a normal 2011 and very slight notching
Light-To-Moderate-Spreads

And would consider this Strong Doubling (alot of thickness and very nice notching)

The 1983p-1do-008 and the 1984d-1do-001. On the 83p I've seen several that seems to have a thick spot on the bottom right loop of the eight as well as a thick notch on the bottom leg of the three, would this be a dd on that date?

If there is true extra thickness on the 8 and a true notch with thickness at the bottom of the 3, then it would be a doubled die. But in order to tell much of anything I would first have to SEE whether your definition of thickness and notching is the same as mine.

In other words I would have to see the coins about which you are asking.
