[QUOTE="DrunkNumismatic, post: 1403549, member: 36620"]True doubled dies tend to show a rounding of the doubled area. The doubled part tends to look more like the form of the original number, or whatever is doubled. Strike doubling creates shelving, or flat doubling, so that the doubled part looks like a flat shelf or stair. Then there is degeneration doubling which basically results from the dies getting old. Strike doubling and degeneration doubling are not true doubled dies, and are usually not worth more than face value due to the "doubling". To be honest, the pictures you show, to me, aren't easy to tell examples. The doubled area looks slightly rounded to me, and although they are probably strike doubling, I for one couldn't tell that 100% from looking at them. I have however, seen much easier to tell examples.[/QUOTE]
