Message:: [QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 700534, member: 16510"]Please always remember "doubling does not a doubled die make"!  Please always remember "doubling does not a doubled die make"!When many of us see any form of doubling we must first "prove it to ourselfs" and in connection with our own know body of evidence.We don't just see doubling with 2 seperate images and splits in serifs and say, "it's a doubled die".  We combine that with known examples, what series it may be, what year is it in, what are already known, what are the die markers, what other elements on the coin suggest which class or form of doubled die is it, is it consentant with that type of or class of doubling, and always the most important thing is "what else could have caused this other than a doubled die"?"""Remember, we call these coins doublED dies but the die is actually a doublED die before any coin is every struck"""![/QUOTE]
