That is characteristic of most types of Doubled Dies. Now look at your coin, particularly the I and N...each letter is cut in half (more or less for the sake of example). The lettering does not look wider. What makes the doubled look on your coin is a line caused by machine doubling that is on top of the letters. Essentially, it is metal that was piled on top of the letters.

The coin is machine doubling flat like shelf images the A in America is the dead give away.

And as a professor I'm surprised you didn't mention this. __________________ “Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.” John Wayne   11-10-2009, 08:31 AM   #19 (permalink) RATCEZ Junior Member   Join Date: Nov 2009 Posts: 6 Yep Machine doubling no double die.

Posts: 2,742 My Mood: When I first started looking at coins I had no idea what all these letters meant, oh sure I had to look into it to find the answer. But if they were spelled out it sure have been helpful as a newbie. A refreshing once in a while is a good thing. The opening post didn't know. Oh wait, that was you. __________________ “Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.” John Wayne Last edited by rockdude; 11-10-2009 at 09:56 PM.

Yup, it was me. just a common coin collector. And yes, I am a troll.
