thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 05/09/2007 6:32 pm I looked up a photo of the 1939 MONTICELLO. The pics I found are much clearer. But it does look like there's something there. I have no idea. But good luck!!! Report this Post to the Staff
hunter20ga Pillar of the Community United States 1173 Posts	Posted 05/10/2007 11:54 am That does look like true double die as opposed to Machine Doubling to my inexperienced eyes. It will be interesting to read what the experts have to say. BTW...those are pretty good pics. Report this Post to the Staff

garylcsr Pillar of the Community United States 1952 Posts	Posted 05/10/2007 4:50 pm i think that if it has to be magnified 60+ times to see it then it is really not there. jmho.the 39 in the book can be seen with a 7-10X loupe as far as I know. but I have been wrong before good luck and this time I hope I am wrong Gary Report this Post to the Staff

DoubleDie Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 05/12/2007 1:43 pm It is Machine Doubling as far as these pics are concerned. I have one or two that have similar doubling. Usually, the letters look like lines are drawn through the center of each one before it is doubled monticello variety. Report this Post to the Staff
