[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 597721, member: 4350"]I stand by my original thoughts. There is zero evidence of the coin being a doubled die. The images show very normal patterns associated with die wear. To start with, there would be a pattern of doubling on the coin and not just a few minor, maybes on certain letters. It "just don't work that way" :-) You wouldn't get evidence of a doubled die on one letter here and one letter there without there being evidence of it someplace else. Random effects are the result of die deterioration or machine doubling. I often get questions pertaining to "die doubling" on one letter here and one letter there then maybe on one part of a number etc. and....It just doesn't happen that way. Even on coins like the 1997 Doubled ear cent, we can see doubling in the hair so while many people aren't aware of it, there is a pattern of doubling that can be matched to other coins in order to attribute the coin as a DDO. Random die doubling without a pattern elsewhere that can be identified is the reason why this coin is not a doubled die. Thanks, Bill Thanks, Bill[/QUOTE]
