I have a 1980-D that the year and Liberty look like what could be doubling, but not really sure..Im guessing its not, but wanted to ask. I can provide more photos if needed Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/30/2020 2:05 pm Note the overall size of those devices. They are thinner than normal, which means the die was over polished. So the wear wear is slowing moving towards the left direction (in the direction of the closest rim) which is normal as the die ages. Doubling enlarges the devices. Note on a 1980 DDO: Note how much smaller the devices are on your image? So look for doubling on the central area of doubled dies, They will be enlarged on the centers, not on the outside edges.

Smack2k Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 10/01/2020 11:58 am So is it Doubling or Machine Doubling? Sorry, not 100% sure from your answer... The Liberty on mine appears to have the signs of the DDO picture you added, but again, you guys know way more so I'm not even gonna try and answer it! Thank you!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/02/2020 6:38 pm Just like the two coins I posted, they have Machine Doubling on both of them. One of mine is a normal (with MD) and a doubled die with Machine Doubling. So your coin is a normal example, with Machine Doubling. Not a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff
