CWB, thanks for that pointer! I struggle mightily with what is a DD and what isn't. Per your comment, a legit DD has the same thickness as the original devices, right?

 MD on date and mint mint. (When both are affected in the same direction, it usually happened during the strike) |

The big DDO for this year shows no doubling on the date.  Here is a 1957 with the same type of machine damage on the date:   |

I don't mind anyone using them. Sometimes they put the idea across when the poster is still on the forum. That is the purpose for my images.

True until 1990 when the mint stopped hand punching the mint mark It would still be true after 1990. MD doesn't care when the mint mark was added. EDIT: Ah, I see what you're saying now. They can both have the doubling as a doubled die, but they can still both be MD too. I need to think before I post. Edited by cwb

Not a problem, cwb, as we all know Coop takes the best pictures. He told me before it was okay if I used them. I think John1 is right, the saying originated because the MM's were punched into the die separately. So if both date and MM were doubled, usually it was Strike Doubling. I also agree with Coop. It still applies today, as there are more strike doublings than doubled dies. If the date and MM are in the same direction, the odds go up even more for Strike Doubling.  Quote:
