[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 562821, member: 16510"][b]You need to be looking for thickness, thickness, thickness[/b] You need to be looking for thickness, thickness, thickness - splits, splits, splits. Now I know you have been searching and really working at it and have made progress and that's great. The majority of the coins that you have suspected (so far) have had very small types of doubling not consistent with true doublED dies. Now there are flat, (almost shelve-like) true doublED dies but the majority have extra images that will be thick almost as much as the primary image on the coin itself. Two other things I think you are missing is to look for definitive splits in the serifs/numbers along with strength of doubling running stronger on one side or the other. Now I'm just trying as you post to uncover your weaknesses as we go so I can point out a few of the things you may be missing, I could be wrong but lets do this, if you want send me a PM with your address and I will send you 2 or 3 true doubled dies for study on me - I have been doing this with some others on here and I would be glad to send you a few. Thanks,[/QUOTE]
