<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 22019307, member: 15199&quot;]Looking at the above photo, it is not a doubled die as in the &quot;W&quot;, the effect shown has basically divided the width of the W arms. A true doubled die will make the arms be the same height ( thickness) or very close such as the 1955/55 shown below:</p><p><br /></p><p>Notice how on the 9&nbsp; and the bottom of the 5 how they appear blended as the DIE used to strike the coins had been struck 2 times in it&#039;s making. On yours, a doubling overlap appears because the die or blank moved a tiny amount</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1544024[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Liberty is easier to see the effects.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1544025[/ATTACH] </p><p>A true Doubled die is rare, but faulty mint equipment can make small variations which people think are true doubling rather than damaged dies or mint equipment.</p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
