<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 726372, member: 4350&quot;]Hi jessash1976,</p><p><br /></p><p>Take a look at the 1983 DDR up there and notice how the lettering is effected makin the letters appear wider that they should.&nbsp; That is characteristic of most types of Doubled Dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now look at your coin,&nbsp; particularly the I and N...each letter is cut in half (more or less for the sake of example).&nbsp; The lettering does not look wider.&nbsp; What makes the doubled look on your coin is a line caused by machine doubling that is on top of the letters.&nbsp; Essentially, it is metal that was piled on top of the letters.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
