Message:: [QUOTE="A. Nonymus, post: 1377130, member: 36389"]Looks like DD to me I have 2 specimens that I have just looked at more closely (I've had them since 1984) because I was investigating RPMs on the Philly dollars (both '83 and '84) when I was actually shocked when looking at the D dollars through a 10x magnifier.  Here's why I think they are DDs: No. 1 (at least on mine): 'IN' shows doubling. No. 2: "LIBERT" shows doubling to various degrees, with the upper left portion of the B and E appear 'shaved'; the upper portion much narrower on the top surface than the lower portion. No. 3: If you flip the coin over, there is no distortion of 'STATES' which is opposite the date on the obverse. In fact, the reverse shows no doubling whatever. If I understand Machine Doubling there would be corresponding effects on the reverse because it is the coin that is moving, not the die; the double die is created when the die itself rotates while being struck, correct?[/QUOTE]
