The highest point of a doubled die devices, date,motto will only be as vertical as if it was a normal coin, sometimes one image will be lesser. The doubled die effect will be horizontal, and the width may be close to doubled or even separated between the doubled devices&nbsp; such as this 1955 DDO.Notice how the height of both images are about the same,separation horizontal</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/195555date.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">This 1972/72 isn&#039;t as extreme horizontal&nbsp; separation, nor as close as the same height as the 55/55, but still good.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/197272c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">Now it gets a little more difficult. This 1955-D DDO ( FS-01-1955D-101). The 2 images are different heights, and some might think MDD at first, but notice the notches on the ends of the &quot;1&quot; and the separation of the top of the &quot;9&quot; this gives it away.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/1955d-date.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">This 1963-D DDO (FS-01-1963D-101) only shows a doubled effect on the &quot;3&quot;, where it appears tilted and downward, arrows point at the middle of the secondary 3 and the tail.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/1963ddodate.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">Jim</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
