<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 5371281, member: 15199&quot;]I agree they are not the same. This one in #35 has the<b> true doubling in &quot;IN GOD&quot; </b>and the one originally shown at start has some MD in the same area. The difference is that the True Doubling adds to the &#039;thickness&#039; on the lettering.&nbsp; Original amount&nbsp; + True extra additional amount is thicker than&nbsp; original. In Mechanical Doubling the original when struck&nbsp; the 2nd time slices off some or original which is now less&nbsp; thicker and the MD part is equal or less than the thickness slice ( or what ever word you like) and added together they are the same or less thickness than the original. Where as the second die strike of a true DD is moved to the side and the thickness is now actually increased over the original.[ATTACH=full]1229118[/ATTACH] </p><p>This is an easy one, but it does show what I mean. Look at the doubled &#039;L&#039; in liberty. Notice how the stem of the bottom L when covering the stem of the top L is about 150% the Thickness where they do not cover. Same for the bottom of the T also.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
