durkastani Valued Member United States 452 Posts	Posted 10/18/2015 05:33 am I think I have finally found legitimate die doubling. Not 100% on which version this is though. Oops, left of the most obvious location on the Y. Edited by durkastani 10/18/2015 1:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 10/18/2015 2:53 pm I do see what looks like a notch at the top of L. Other places appear more like MD. I don't know! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/18/2015 2:57 pm Looks like very slight Strike Doubling. (Proof coins are struck more than once) AKA: Machine Doubling. (I prefer to call the term Strike Doubling proof coins as this is what usually caused the problem. But the term is my choice for these) The die is not hub doubled, just a very slight miss alignment on the second strike. On proof coins you will also see flat field doubling, but your coin is not an example of this. Report this Post to the Staff

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 10/18/2015 5:54 pm I see a clear but minor notch in the Y from hubbing. It's the only sign of hub doubling I see except maybe the lower left serif of the 1. This suggests it's too minor to be listed (at least in my opinion). You'd need better images to convince me that any of the other doubling you show is actually from hubbing. Looks more like Strike Doubling (MD) to me. Report this Post to the Staff
durkastani Valued Member United States 452 Posts	Posted 10/18/2015 10:47 pm I have to agree now, upon further examination, that only the Y looks legit. Everything else is pretty shelf like. Report this Post to the Staff
