 to the CCF The correct terminology is Double d Die. What you have is called MD ( Mechanical Doubling) It is known as one of the worthless types of Doubling. Ps Nice photography, It always helps when you can see all the detail. |

Again, it is called a Doubled Die. There is a big difference between DD and a MD. Click on the light blue Mechanical Doubling for more info. You are going to have to do some research before you get to be able to tell the difference. Also there is a wealth of information under the Search button at the top left hand corner. |

Wexler's is a good site to read up on doubled dies versus worthless doubling, http://doubleddie.com/144801.html and http://doubleddie.com/144822.html Try to get used to saying " doubled" die, not "double" die. Double die implies that there are two dies, doubled die correctly describes the process - the die was doubled during hubbing. |

Nice example of MD - I'd put it in a 2x2 just for that.
