<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1455129, member: 15199&quot;]I believe it is the -002. The other possibility may be the -007, but looking at the upper tip of the 2 should help you decide. The 002 has a distinct notch from the doubling and the 7 is more rounded. Your photo is a little difficult to distinguish.</p><p><br /></p><p>A doubled die can also be MDD as the true doubling occurs as the working die is being hubbed ( pressed by a reverse image die at least 2 times with heating to soften in between). The working die ( which will strike the coin) is removed from the setup during heating/cooling, and if not realigned perfectly, the working die will have a double image. So a true doubled working die can strike a coin ( producing the DD) and then move as it comes off of the struck coin producing MDD. Not usual, but I have seen it. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you look at the bottom of the &quot;G&quot; and &quot;O&quot; in GOD, you can see that the 2 images tends to merge with just a thin line separating due to the natural rounding of the letters. This shows that both images were about the same depth, indicating a true doubling and not MD. IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
