<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FooFighter, post: 3639349, member: 101958&quot;]Agreed. Doubled Dies aren&#039;t from the Coin Press double tapping the coin. It is a stage of the Die when there is slight wear or damage to the Devices that the Die stamps into each coin.</p><p>Again, it is not when the Press and the upper Die are pressing the design into the coin, which rests on the bottom Die.</p><p><br /></p><p>DD&#039;s are rounded too, just like the letter/number that is on the face of the coin. If it is FLAT or SHELF like, then it is not a DD.</p><p>This is its simplest form, but it&#039;s just like a cookie cutter. If you pushed firmly through the Dough, then lifted out of the dough and rotated the cutter or moved it ever so slightly, that would not be&nbsp; DD.</p><p>If the wall of the cutter for whatever cookie you were making had a slight bend to it to where a minimal amount would be squeezed out of where its damaged, THAT would be a Doubled Die. It would only be on the one side where the wear or damage is and not on all sides like it would have been if you lifted the cutter and moved it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I KNOW they are going to give me crap for the cookie cutter analogy,&nbsp; but it&#039;s pretty close. And the others will be along after me to clean up or add to what I&#039;ve said.</p><p><br /></p><p>And just like the great Clawcoins stated, it will be exciting the first time you think you have found a DD, and maybe you will find 1 right off the bat, but it&#039;s highly unlikely. So far I&#039;ve found 1983 Coppers, 1969 S Doubled Die, 1992 Close AMs, but actually I only have a 1989 D RPM that was for real. Lol but it&#039;s all been pretty exciting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take Obverse(front) and Reverse(back) pics when you have questions about a coin. We cant tell what you&#039;ve got if we can&#039;t see it. And DO believe the answers these Ladies and Gentlemen give to your questions. It may not be what you want to hear, but it will be correct. This site is a cross between Encyclopedia Britannica and 100 Einstein&#039;s .(i know there&#039;s a joke to be fleshed out there). They know what they are talking about.</p><p>So, enjoy yourself and dont hesitate to ask. Dont ask ME of course, I&#039;m too dumb to get out of my own way lmao, but DO ask Here.</p><p>I apologize for being so long winded there, but if I can help you then I&#039;m ok with it.</p><p>Thanks</p><p>Foo ,,,,,,,,, out[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
