Very common to find examples that some call a doubled die, which they are not. Buy Nickel doubled dies with caution of this fact. __________________ Two silk worms had a race.

They cannot be found after 1989 on any demoniation 2. If there is similar doubling occuring on the date and mintmark on a pre-1990 coin - MD is the likely culprit 3. On clad Lincoln cents (1982-1989) split plate doubling is very often on the mintmark __________________ JASON C.
