<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2904359, member: 15199&quot;]MD, the secondary image is flat. In the 60s the dies were made with more than a single pressing. If there was movement of the die being pressed, it would most commonly be produced with the same or close force , so the secondary image should not be flat, but raised , sometimes as much as the first image ( 1955/55, 1972/72, etc). Also, although it may sometimes not be as noticeable, a true double die does not reduce the thickness of the first image, but adds to it. In this one, you may be able to see , on the crossbar of the &#039;8&#039; the left side where there is more doubling is thinner than the right side (MD). Although there are exceptions, when the mint mark also shows such doubling too, it is highly suspect of MD.&nbsp; Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
