Yes, in fact that is one good way to distinguish between a doubled die and Machine Doubling. With that said, this cent sure does look like an example of circulation flattening rather than doubling.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73717 Posts	Posted 11/11/2024 8:03 pm Circulation wear and flattening. And maybe a possible Die Chip, near the date and mint mark. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 11/11/2024 8:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10484 Posts	Posted 11/11/2024 8:19 pm Can coins even become perfectly double struck in a stamping machine that the letters/numbers only become slightly enlarged? The collar should hold them, if not then you have something like this - which is called "Double Struck" Report this Post to the Staff
