I always second guess myself on circulated things like this but it has a good look. Yes I think it is showing doubling on the initials.

thanks stoneman227, it could be doubled master die , only thing is that in these coin it's a strong doubling (to me ) and not a minor doubling as in richard's introduction.

Good point , it does look nicely doubled. Wish the doubling were evident on other devices to separate this one from the pack.
The engraving doubling on the 1944 cents can very hugely depending on the die stateof the individual working die and how far along the master die had come. The 57 dime master die could be similar.

the only thing I found on the other devices is on the # 5 of the date. the rest could be gone due to wear.  |

Hmm , possibly. I'm not familiar with the finished look of the 5 on that date and denomination and if the 5 ends fat or thin. There may be a concern there because the 7 has a similar angle on the inside corner that is a hit although they they don't precisely line up

Just thinking ,on the initials the primary design is to the north and doubling to the south. On the 5 the primary part of it is to the south . I don't rhink the two are related.

Looks like this die is showing extreme Die Deterioration. Note how the devices are only affected towards the rim? |

Coop,so you mean that the doubling that I see on the initials is the cause of the die been overuse?

Yes. If it were hub doubling, the upper part of the "S" on the initial would be a thick as the lower part of the "S". Note on Richard's listing for the DDO: Note all the "S" is thickened. On your coin just the bottom edges of the "JS" is affected? |
