Garbanzo Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 06/18/2022 12:16 pm I need to know if this coin is a doubled die or just Machine Doubling. I think that it shows die doubling, (tripling?), on Liberty and the mint mark. Have I finally found a doubled die? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95550 Posts	Posted 06/18/2022 2:56 pm Yep! DDD is the answer here. It is easy to identify because the apparent 'doubling' is heading towards the rim all the way around the coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
