coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/23/2017 7:01 pm I see a normal coin. The devices see normal in size. The DDO devices are a lot wider. I'm going to make a few comparison images for you. All the devices you've posted are just the same size as a normal die. Some are smaller than normal. So they can't be a doubled die. Hub doubling enlarges the devices. I'm not seeing that on your coin. Everything looks normal. Edited by coop 11/23/2017 7:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/24/2017 3:57 pm Same issue. The angle of the light is too low so it makes the MD show more glaring at you. The devices are normal, but reduced a bit because of the MD. You need to look at the sites for 1971 (or any year you are searching for rolls) for doubled dies. Then you will know more about what to look for. Note what the normal size is and note on the doubled die below, how the devices are enlarged. If the devices are the same as a normal coin, then it is a normal coin also. But study where/how the DDO is spread. I feel that if you did find a doubled die, then you would know and then kick yourself for look to hard for something that was never there on your coins. Report this Post to the Staff
