Pdwtn New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 06/25/2023 05:31 am I've attached a few photos of the coin in question, specifically the reverse and a couple cropped photos of the "A" in America which has obvious doubling. My question is do you think it's mechanical or from a doubled die? Edited by Pdwtn 06/25/2023 05:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

Pdwtn New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 06/25/2023 11:21 am Based off your knowledge of doubled dies, does it look mechanical to you? Report this Post to the Staff
kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 06/25/2023 12:11 pm Generally speaking it seems like hub doubling of a single letter would be pretty unusual. I'm inclined to think it's a contact mark that happens to be parallel to the A. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/25/2023 12:55 pm As I said,Morgans are not my area. I do not see how only a single letter can be doubled and that coin being considered a doubled die. Did they retool Morgans?Who is our Morgan expert? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Pdwtn New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 06/25/2023 5:11 pm Thanks for the input. I agree the single letter being the only major doubling is peculiar but it's def there. Any additional info is greatly appreciated. Thanks again in advance. Report this Post to the Staff
