Hi guys

Take a look at this (in not to good a shape) penny I got in my change...Does this look like doubling and also the denticals look doubled.

It definitely looks like doubling to me.

My question is whether it is double dyed or Machine Doubling.

You are correct about the question kenscott, and maybe a better expert than me could supply more information.

Do the doubled areas seem to be raised? Do you see any split serifs?

Now that you mention it kenscott, they do look raised.
Even the denticals appear doubled, at least to me.

Most likely a true doubled die then and less likely Machine Doubling. Raised imaging and split serifs are signs of true doubled die coin from what I have read.

Rest in Peace

I assume it is there but it is hard to be sure from the picture. The close up seems doubled to me. I just posted it because it purports to be similar.
