<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1339530, member: 66&quot;]I&#039;m surprised it doesn&#039;t seem to be mentioned anywhere because it has been known since 1984. (It was published in Coin World at that time.)&nbsp;&nbsp; It was first found and called a doubled die back then, then it was decided that it was actually a case of MDD.&nbsp; Later it was called a doubled die again.&nbsp; There seems to be some question as to just what it is.&nbsp; The problem comes from the fact that those letters are incuse and not raised.&nbsp; When the coin was struck the letters are formed by raised letters on the die like a hub and when the die sifts it creates a second rounded image made with a splitting of the serifs just like the image on a doubled die die.</p><p><br /></p><p>So is it a DD or is it MDD?&nbsp; I don&#039;t know, but like I said I would still have thought it would have been mentioned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
