I'm learning, but I see many coins that look doubled but I'm almost positive that something else is going on here. Thank you coin community! Muah
Your coin has Machine Doubling. IMO. It is really Push Doubling but commonly called MD., as it is caused by a malfunction in the press. http://www.error-ref.com/machine-doubling/
@Amberalaska , very recently, someone posted pictures of what a MD coin looks like vs. a Doubled Die. You can do a quick search and find the thread.
You can do a study of known Doubled die coins, and then everything else is just everything else. http://www.lincolncentresource.com/doubledies/doubledies.html
Here are 3 easy ones from my collection. First is a 1936 DDO. Notice that each portion of the numbers on the date are the same height. It usually doesn't happen , but it should not be flattened and not merge if they are close to gether Also notice that the overall thickness has increased by the doubling, on a MDD, it is more a subtraction, The part that is original height will be thinner than original , even though it and the flattened portion added together might be more///the flattened art doesn't count. Notice on this classic, that where the '955' cross over each other, the heights are the same and blend together, another sign , even if it is a small portion that does this it is a good sign Here is a 1960D DDO which is also a small date /large date and a wide spaced RPM. The DD part is easy to see on the "0", blue large, red is small date. And another classic, 1972 DDO. Some times ( depending on the CLASS of doubled die, it only shows in a small area. Hope this helps some. By the way, I bought all but the last one, that one I found in searching a bag ( 5000) of 1968-S cents aand have a roll of them Jim
