Littlemg2 Pillar of the Community United States 552 Posts	Posted 02/22/2025 9:05 pm are we calling this DD due to the trail lines? Because according to error-ref.com this is called CLASS VIII - Tilted Hub Doubling: "Tilted hub doubling occurs when a die is set in the hubbing press tilted and rotated clockwise or counterclockwise from the hub. The resulting doubled die will show doubling on part of the design close to the rim, and the rest of the design will be normal." ¹ Again, some ambiguity surrounds this class of hub doubling. Some variety experts have included the tilted hub, instead of solely the tilted die, as the cause for this type of doubling. In this scenario the tilted hub accounts for the majority of the single squeeze hubbed doubled dies (see Class IX) with or without a specific rotation to the hub. could if possible get a clarification if anyone is still viewing this lol Report this Post to the Staff

Littlemg2 Pillar of the Community United States 552 Posts	Posted 02/22/2025 9:37 pm Nvm, as research day continues and I was able to find a very detailed explanation of this on Lincoln Cent Forum. I see why its labeled a MD but also at time can be a DD depending on design Verity Report this Post to the Staff
