<p>[QUOTE=&quot;non_cents, post: 1918582, member: 30970&quot;]One thing to note is that doubled dies are varieties...coins such as the 1984 and 1997 double ears were struck by a doubled die, which then struck thousands upon thousands of more identical examples. If you compare your coin to one of these, you will see that the real doubled dies are fully doubled. There is an extra ear that adds to the thickness of the original ear. </p><p><br /></p><p>One thing to do if you are not certain if it is a doubled die is to in your mind &quot;take away&quot; the doubled part of the coin. In your case, imagine that the doubling on the ear did not exist for a moment. Now, does the ear appear to be normal size, or smaller than normal? In your case, when you take away the doubling, the ear appears smaller than normal. That is one good indicator that your coin is not a doubled die.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wrote a good thread on the topic of doubled dies that you can see here, maybe it can help you out a bit: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/threads/lets-talk-doubling.224087/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/threads/lets-talk-doubling.224087/">http://www.cointalk.com/threads/lets-talk-doubling.224087/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
