Also, the left side of the curvitures on the underlying "8" cut through the enclosed openings of the top "8" making it a little more difficut to discern. Where the top and bottoms of the two "8's" meet there is a notch. Top notch pointed down, bottom notch pointed up. Any help appreciated, could find no such animal in the CherryPickers Guide. |

If you want an opinion on the notches at the bottom of 1,9, and 8, you would have to submit a blown up portion of the date. With the pictures you have submitted I would not be able to tell. Sorry!

The doubling on a Doubled Die has to be raised and the same thickness as the original device. IMO The doubling on yours looks incuse which means it is not a Doubled Die. It looks like Die Deterioration Doubling to me. |

Thanksz for the input, the doubling is raised...it is an optical illusion that makes it appear incuse...I have to look at it for a bit be able to focus and see the raising in the pic. Will try to get a larger blow up..so far if I go over 400x it gets too grainy....here is another attempt with a different contrast...

It may be an "or what?" as it is not as raised as the overstrike. Need someone with more expertise in photography!

Sorry, not a DDOEither Machine Doubling, possibly shift doubling or an issue with the copper plating. |

Die deterioration. Happens when the dies start showing wear on the Zincolns.  |
