I just came across this out of a bank roll, very circulated, but???

Just thought I'd ask......

I wanna say it's machine doubling but I have absolutely no credentials or authority to say so, just intuition. Consider this a free bump until the expert cavalry comes in!

 

does the mm show the same doubling?

 

There looks to be an outline about like the date!

 

Machine doubling. You can tell by the flat shelf-like appearance of the secondary image.

 

I agree, If the doubling appears to stair step up then it's going to be machine doubling. True doubled dies should have the doubling on the same level.
