G'day & welcome to CCF. The Festival Crowns all had a legend around the edge; it was always incuse; but I'm not sure what you mean by "doubled", so ... |

Zooming in on a 12kb picture will only make it pixelated, the photo file needs to be much larger to see the detail. You can upload a max of 100kb directly to the forum or you can embed an image from Photobucket or another photo hosting service. What I can tell you is that this is not comparable to a doubled die which would be created by an entirely separate process.

Nobody will have a clue until you can post a larger picture. Until then, any guess is pure speculation.
