<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 24694767, member: 4920&quot;]There&#039;s where the going can get a little complicated, as there are &quot;rules of thumb,&quot; more or less, but that will lead you astray, if you take them too literally. The best thing I think you can do when starting out is just get a fix on what you&#039;re looking for. These dies are made from hubs impressing (or, term we use, &quot;squeezing&quot;) into them. Today, there&#039;s just one single squeeze from the hub, and they&#039;re done. When your dies were made, in 1958, there were two squeezes, the second for good measure. A doubled die from that era is when the squeezes are ajar, or offset, from one another. That&#039;s what you&#039;re looking for on the coins, images, side-by-side, the top one, in part, overlapping the bottom one. It&#039;s as though you cut a cookie out of dough, then cut it, again, but the two cuts are a hair off from one another, what are you seeing? That&#039;s a doubled die, figuratively, in a nut.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
