<p>[QUOTE=&quot;paddyman98, post: 1808242, member: 44615&quot;]<b>Hey Tommy Cent this might help - Definition: Die deterioration doubling</b> is a form of image doubling on coins that is often confused with true doubled die coins. Portions of the coin, usually the date and inscriptions, appear to be doubled, just like on a doubled die specimen, but upon close examination it becomes evident that the effect of doubling is actually caused by die fatigue and deterioration. Rather than seeing the clear, sharp doubling of the letter or number thus affected, you will see a mushy sort of &quot;shadow&quot; image, usually in the direction towards the rim of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
