DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 2:54 pm Here I've added arrows where there is clear "notching", which is diagnostic of a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 2:59 pm Yeah, the notching there is what sold me on it, but once I got it in hand and looked a little closer, I got a little skeptical. Been burned by deterioration too many times. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 3:04 pm Except Die Deterioration will not show notching like this--it will be completely connected as the letter wears away on the die. For example, the notched bottoms of the "M" and "T" are classic places for a doubled die--nothing else can produce that. Depending how a die is made, the doubling can look somewhat different between countries/mints--which ads to the confusion. That's why I look for notching such as above--there is no doubt to me.

xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 5:07 pm Is it just me, or does it look like a larger design was struck over the first one? Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 5:13 pm Perhaps an expert can say for sure, but I've read that when a die is only partially hubbed, the devices can appear smaller or incomplete to the final impression. Report this Post to the Staff
