SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 2:37 pm The mintmark exhibits split plating doubling, and other devices Machine Doubling. Neither is a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff
AprilMay Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 3:29 pm OK so I have a question. It makes it mechanical Doubling when (for example the A) the bottom (under the line) is thicker then the top part? And with a true doubled die the thickness is more even with each other?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/21/2018 4:11 pm Note everything you are looking at is reduction of the devices. A doubled die would show enlargement of the devices. Not a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff
