Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 10/31/2025 10:49 am The doubled serif on the 1 appears on many (but not all) 1972 Ikes. I have a small stack of Philly dollars with that notch. If memory serves, Wexler called it series doubling, because although it was probably a doubled master hub or die, there might have been multiple masters in use. The notch appears on both Philly and Denver of that year. Confusingly, the doubled 1 also appears alongside some doubled dies that have doubled features in other obverse areas.

I cannot find anything on VV for the 2, but that split serif on the 1 is on every listing on VV All 3 mints (PDS) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Just because a die with doubling is used does not mean the machine is going to behave.

I will try to remember to look at mine under magnification the next chance I get. I cannot tell from my photos, but I see hints of this on a couple of them. Feel free to check for yourself.

I had a chance to sit with my Ikes this weekend and it appears that all but one of my clad uncirculated 1972 Ikes has this notch on the one in the date. So, I have to admit BM was on track here.
