foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 06/22/2008 12:38 am Hi, Even if it was doubled on the O of ONE, it would not be a doubled die. Machine Doubling is the likely cause since it can be found on one or more details. The Key in this statement is that it can be found on only one letter. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 06/22/2008 12:44 am i know its not a double die I just thought it could be a die variety. I found three of em identical thats the only reason I asked. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 06/22/2008 01:04 am Hi, A semi-consistent bit of Machine Doubling is not uncommon on coins of the same date. For example I see hundreds of Kennedy half dollars that are similarly machine doubled but that doesn't constitute a die variety. I understand your question but for what you described, the die variety would be a doubled die. So no doubled die in this case means no die variety. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
