<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3569763, member: 84179&quot;]I&#039;m sorry but you don&#039;t have a doubled die. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is why.</p><p>If you recall from your research on the die making process (on doubleddie.com and other sites), dies required multiple pressings from the working hub (the mint used a single squeeze process today, but that&#039;s an unrelated topic).&nbsp; If the working hub moves slightly during this process, you have a doubled die.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the letters are doubled, you will always see one that is the normal size and shape.&nbsp; Now look at your &quot;discovery&quot; coin. The highest part of the &quot;doubling&quot; is thinner.&nbsp; Especially in TRUST.&nbsp; Thin letters are a key characteristic that shows the coin is not a doubled die. You can also see that in the 9.&nbsp; This is a very useful diagnostic that newer collectors can use to weed out the numerous&nbsp; DDD and MD from real doubling.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
