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 http://varietyvista.com/01a LC Doubled Dies Vol 1/DDO 1936.htm http://varietyvista.com/01a LC Doubled Dies Vol 1/DDO 1955-S.htm
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.
No I got that, I was trying to be funny : / Im working on it...okay....and thank you for the correction.
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 Www.doubleddie.com Www.varietyvista.com
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
