    Hi Haley,

    It would definitely be double die if it has an obverse and a reverse.
    Sorry, just messing with you. Where are seeing doubling?
    Here are the known ones for you to learn from

    The OP coin is a 1955-S not a Philly

    Lol I love to laugh! I love jokes, but yours doesn't make any cents ; )

    Ok yea That's the best I got! : /
    lol

    Ok so jokes aside. I was under the impression that not all double dies, you see such drastic doubling. In some cases, the lettering or numbering just appeara larger than it normally would be?? Is that not correct?

    In some cases yes, the links I posted show examples.
    The "joke" was that the correct term is Doubled Die. Double die suggests the use of two dies, hence my comment about obverse and reverse dies.

    Check out these 2 sites. They have listings of known doubled dies and educational material that shows the characteristics of true hub doubling vs worthless mechanical doubling and die deterioration. If you put in some time at these sites, you'll increase you knowledge of doubled dies significantly

    Note: the famous 1955 DoubleD Die is on the Philadelphia [no mintmark] cent.
    Yes, the 1936 has several DDO's, but that isn't one of them
