<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 4869654, member: 105098&quot;]Hi Jay,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m afraid not, likely die deterioration doubling. Just a piece of advice take it for what it&#039;s worth, read the below linked information and understand it. this describes exactly how Doubled Die coins are made, as well as doubled master hubs, doubled master dies, and doubled working dies as well as the differences between Class 1 to Class 7 doubled die coins. and then the newer single squeeze hubbing process and how doubled dies appear now since this method was adopted by the mint. this is really informative and will give you a much clearer understanding of what is a doubled die coin, and what is not and is instead some form of strike doubling like, </p><p>Grease Mold Doubling/Filled Die Doubling, mechanical doubling, split plate doubling, die deterioration doubling, die wear doubling, ejection doubling, </p><p><a href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" rel="nofollow">http://doubleddie.com/58222.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a link to the &quot;other forms of doubling&quot; this covers a lot of the striking doubling issues (mechanical doubling) that isn&#039;t very collectible or valuable.</p><p><a href="http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/OtherFormsOfDoubling.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/OtherFormsOfDoubling.htm" rel="nofollow">http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/OtherFormsOfDoubling.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>this is by no means a complete list of &quot;other doubling events&quot; there&#039;s slide doubling, push doubling, rim-restricted design duplication, and many more strikeing doubling events. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>doubled dies are literally, &quot;doubling of the impression on the die&quot;, every coin struck by that die will have the same thing. the mechanical doubling or &quot;strike doubling&quot; will come and go as random events or wear events during the striking of coins and it&#039;s not consistent.</p><p>Repunched mintmarks also fall into the doubled die category, they were put on to the dies twice or more times, every coin struck with that die will have it, and the same appearance with the exception for wear (die deterioration) until the die gets retired. </p><p><br /></p><p>This all said,&nbsp; after reading through the linked pages and understanding it, you will clearly know it&#039;s not what you are looking for, and you will know what you ARE looking for when you see it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really hope this helps, I was where you are at one point in time also, everyone is, some learning is necessary for understanding and clarity, good luck and be blessed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
