Although the photos don't show it, the doubling isn't Strike Doubling. There's elevation to both sets of letters. I can't find anything on this. "TY" of LIBERTY and "19" of 1916 are very noticeably doubled. Minor doubling in motto. President Lincoln has a slight shadow to the west. My photos don't do justice. What do you think?   |

Looks normal from the images provided. (The devices look normal sized and all the same width)  Edited by coop

From the images provided, I'm also not seeing anything outside of the norm.

I can see a little something on the Y in LIBERTY in the first pic. Notice, however, how "skinny" it makes the Y look compared to other letters. That's a clear indication of Strike Doubling or MD. It also has a shelving effect that makes the eastern Y more prominent. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Thanks so much for your quick replies. I have a rockstar camera, but no macro lens for it. I'm going to get a better picture. It's there. What you're saying is exciting to me. You're suggesting that there's no known 1916 DDO. I understand the liklihood of after all this time uncovering one is extremely high, but hope is fun. I'm hopeful. Please watch for my updated picture. |

Don't get too excited on this one, Digit. Strike Doubling is MD, and it's worthless doubling. Die wear is worthless doubling also. Light reflecting on devices is worthless as well. None of them are a Doubled Die. If you can get better pictures we can teach you right quick to tell the difference. Close-up pictures of TY and 19 should show what type of worthless doubling is there, if any at all. The pics already supplied are good enough to rule out a Doubled Die. Edited by CoinMasters

Those are nice pics and much better!  It shows clear Strike Doubling (or MD, same thing). Notice how the parts of the letters/numbers that are shifted west/left appear as a lower "shelf". If it were a doubled die, both parts would be the same height from the coin's field. Again, those are good pics for reference. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Yes, sorry to burst your bubble, but just MD. Still a nice grade though.

Those photos are very clear and they show MD. Sorry about that, but and happy hunting. |

Yep, clearly MD. The die was loose, and a little extra movement altered the devices. The "doubling" reduced the size of the original devices. On a Doubled Die, the doubling would increase the overall size. The Doubled Die gets it's name because the doubling is on the die. Very impressive pics! |
