John .. I'm not going to lie.. I didn't real the rules for this forum.. are we allowed to recommend other websites by name? I will get around to reading them but I got 28 new OBW rolls, 4 unopened silver proof sets and 700+ lot of steels this week to search through.. Just don't want to get in trouble directing someone to reference sites..

Sweet thank you..

Thanks for the clarification!

Generally, raised lines are good and recessed lines are bad. Trail Dies, Die Cracks, and scratch damage can be found on any denomination. I'd have to see a picture.

Doubling is doubling theres ten different types of double dies

On a doubled die, the devices are enlarged on the die when the die was created. So the devices are wider and spread between the hubbings:

Can you see the spread on this coin? That spread is in the center showing a line on the Center of the device. On MD the affected devices are on the outside edges of the devices. It is always flat, shelf like, looking like a step down and it reduces the size of the device. Note on your coin that the devices you are looking at are affected on the outside edge of the device, the color is the affected areas are all the same. (because they are now flat) The contour was pushed away now showing that a normal device in now reduced in size. So when you look at they devices on a MD example you see one side of the device showing contour, the other a single color, because that area was damaged, after the strike. On the doubled die, you can often see the light to dark on all sides of the device. You can see the spread of the devices. on MD this is missing. MD is caused by the machine during the strike. On a doubled die, the doubling is on the die and remands the same on every coin that it strikes. Hope this helps? If not, ask another question.
