Mrzllewellyn Pillar of the Community United States 1901 Posts	Posted 01/23/2018 4:26 pm MD. Do you have a full obverse and reverse picture? Just read Yeah MD. Proofs are struck twice so it could look like a doubled die but it isn't if that helps crazy or coop can explain it better Edited by Mrzllewellyn 01/23/2018 4:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Mrzllewellyn Pillar of the Community United States 1901 Posts	Posted 01/23/2018 5:16 pm You see the notching in have pointed the arrows at? Most of the time you see that notching and splits you have a doubled die Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/23/2018 11:31 pm #4 is called: flat field doubling on a proof coin. Still Machine Doubling, but the cause is from Strike Doubling as proof coins are struck more than once. The die is normal, the strike was the issue. So it is not a doubled die.
