<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KurtS, post: 2086883, member: 11786&quot;]I&#039;m not sure--it merits a closer look. For doubled dies, I look for some signs of notching in numbers or letters. However, some doubled dies don&#039;t show notching, and it also depends on how the dies were made too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of my doubled dies have notching such as this (black arrows):</p><p><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7481/15820402590_00373e539c_b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But notching is more apparent on older coins with serifs. Other doubled dies I have are outside the usual norm. Here&#039;s an Australia penny with very wide rotational doubling--so much that there&#039;s no &quot;notching&quot;. This also has some MD on the STR.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7418/16542242936_a61f589ae1_b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s another weird doubled die from Australia. Nothing is actually &quot;doubled&quot;, the design elements and letters are highly distorted--the oval dots and skewed star are a giveaway. This is called Class VI distended doubled die.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2004/2540369426_3e7acafff9_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
