Is this a double die?

Sorry if the pics are a little blurry, It was the hardest thing trying to get a good pic of the letters on this coin. Thanks

Doesn't look like it but your pictures need to be better in order for anyone to really see anything IMO.

 

Hard to tell, but I think it's probably die deterioration.

@roy pho
The correct numismatic terminology is Doubled Die.. not double die.
Big difference!
Here is a website the explains Doubled Dies

Thanks for the info everyone.

 

What is the meaning of the term double die?

 

You get shot and run over.

 

The proper term today is doubled die but what is a double die?

 

I would think that would mean "two dies." But there's really no such term.

 

It's mostly die deterioration. I remember when the 1984 nickels were released. A lot of them had really crappy strikes. For some reason in 1984, I think the dies were used a lot longer than normal.

 

It's been used for 60+ years. I started a new thread on the topic. Don't wish to trash the OPs threads.

 

No, that's Double Died
