Coinstrike Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 09/14/2020 6:08 pm Came across some doubling today on a 2001 penny. Is this a legitimate double die? How does that happen with a single squeeze press? * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! * Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/14/2020 10:11 pm To answer your other question, single squeeze doubled dies tend to look kind of smeared when they appear on the devices (like the image was pressed into the sand and then moved while still applied), and tend to appear most frequently at the center of the design (e.g. doubled earlobes on obverses, center column doubling on LMC reverses, etc.) Report this Post to the Staff
