I think you need to study some good examples of the various forms of doubling so you can get an idea of what to look for. The link I have provided should help a bit Verbally describing forms of doubling is very difficult to understand without a visual example. Many collectors struggle with this concept, some learn what real doubling looks like and others do not and continue to pay stupid money for items like "1955 poor man's double die" or try to sell die deterioration/machine doubled coins as real DDOs or DDRs, unknowingly ripping off another collector in the process.

I just thought the 88 looked cool. Do you not think the 71 is doubled? the liberty pic is blurry if you cant make it out but you can see it in "GOD". It looks like cherrypickers FS-031, coneca: DDO-001 from where I'm at.

*Heavy sigh* Everytime I think I am catching on to something, more information comes along.....
Thanks for asking the question, and thanks to those answering. The link is really helpful.

That picture allows me to see that there is no die doubling on this coin.

Thanks for the picture of LIBERTY. It did help a great deal.

Thanks,
