<p>[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 110125, member: 1242"]I think that some of the doubling on the Sacagawea's is very deceiving!

The coin has strong Doubled Die doubling on "LIBERTY". However, it has lesser doubling on "IN GOD WE TRUST", the DATE, Designer's Initials and on Sacagawea and her baby which appears closer in appearance to Machine Doubling but is more rounded than flat and only about half the height or depth (whichever you prefer) of the other Lettering or details. I am currently at work and haven't checked the coin for uneven thickness but believe that uneven planchet thickness may account for the difference in the height or depth of the doubling and they (the Mint Workers) probably adjust the strike depth of the Dies between strikes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh I forgot!
