Reference for #1.
"Doubled Die", Is literally a die being made with a doubled impression during hubbing. It only happens, so may ways. it's on the die and all coins struck with that die look exactly the same.

Reference for #2.
There's a lot of noncollectable versions of doubling as an event during the striking process as well as when the die ages and begins to warp and malform or crack.

If you are going to look for Doubled Dies for something to do as a hobby, use a reverence source like Cherry Pickers Guide, or Variety Vista website, or whatever you like and look for Doubled Dies that are known and cataloged. Match an apple to an apple.

If you are looking for NEW doubled dies to make a discovery, then you need all the education that goes along with it, if you can't tell if the doubling is mechanical, or Die Deterioration, or a true doubled hubbed Die, you are going to spend most of your time asking "Is this it?", instead of saying "This is it!"

Just keeping it real, you gotta do your homework practice and study.m When you really know it, you should be able to tell the difference Between Mechanical Doubling and a doubled die, and in fact even identify the class of doubling it is. When you can do that, without a doubt you COMPLETELY understand it.
