1962penny Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 05/31/2019 6:15 pm Came across this guy roll hunting... the date looked a bit wide to me, so upon further examination under my magnifier, I noticed the doubling on the date and on the "GOD". Is this just Machine Doubling, or have I come across a legit doubled die? Thanks for everyones input in advance. Happy hunting! Report this Post to the Staff

1962penny Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 06/01/2019 2:05 pm can someone explain the process of Die Deterioration Doubling please? I understand Die Deterioration; the die weakens over time and devices become less defined and so on... but how does the doubling occur? Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 06/01/2019 2:54 pm @1962penny, as the die fatigues it widens creating a Doubled appearance. Sometimes it it can have a mushy appearance, sometimes it can have a little bit of definition. Report this Post to the Staff
