<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 1803620, member: 4350&quot;]I want to add a little bit to this.&nbsp; Sometimes a coin is a doubled die but the die that struck the coin is in such a late die state that the split serifs are not really visible on the coins.&nbsp; In fact, any grooves or split serifs are sometimes difficult to find any evidence of on some true Doubled dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am thinking of late die state Kennedy half doubled dies, for example.&nbsp; The details are so&nbsp; flattened on the die that the only way to tell it is a doubled die is to be familiar with the appearance or &quot;footprint&quot; so to speak of , let&#039;s say the word TRUST on an earlier die state strike.&nbsp; Then you compare the &quot;footprints&quot; to figure out that a late die state coin is actually a doubled die.</p><p><br /></p><p>A lot depends on the spread of the doubling on a particular DDO variety as to whether or not you can see notches, grooves or split serifs on later die state coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
