Thanks, Viper.

As you can see from this picture, the 'doubling' to the letters is a clear outline to the letters.

Also, note that the outline is flat (as often stated: shelf like). This is important. The outline to the letters is much lower than the 'original' lettering. The net result is not a duplicate, as shown on the 1955 DDO above.

The 1955 DDO (doubled die obverse) clearly shows that both sets of numbers are the same height. This is a true classic example of a doubled die.
