<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SorenCoins, post: 8368052, member: 73708&quot;]Thank you all for the responses. I am definitely familiar with the shelf-like distinction for MD.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen this image a number of times over the years, but I am starting to wonder if the difference in relief between the design element and the doubling is not as applicable in ultra-modern coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am copy-and-pasting a few images of modern doubled dies below to show what I mean. I feel like a lot of the examples would be initially disregarded because the doubling is shelf-like. Some have rather flat doubling as well.</p><p><img src="http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/2018/2018d1dr001l.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>^^ CopperCoins <a href="http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=2018&amp;die_id=2018d1dr001&amp;die_state=lds" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=2018&amp;die_id=2018d1dr001&amp;die_state=lds" rel="nofollow">2018D-1DR-001</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://doubleddie.com/mediac/450_0/media/8edc6cecb60a7ac3ffff80b5ffffe415.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>^^ Wexler <a href="http://doubleddie.com/2319758.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/2319758.html" rel="nofollow">2013-P 10c WDDR-001</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www2.briansvarietycoins.com/system/listing_photos/11188/large/DSCN3941.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>^^ Wexler <a href="https://www2.briansvarietycoins.com/listings/cat/56" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www2.briansvarietycoins.com/listings/cat/56" rel="nofollow">2019-P 5c WDDR-028</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://doubleddie.com/mediac/450_0/media/9b780aa2515a57d6ffff8f933f2261f3.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>^^ Wexler <a href="http://doubleddie.com/2587137.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/2587137.html" rel="nofollow">2021-D 1c WWHO-001</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://doubleddie.com/mediac/450_0/media/9b780aa2515a57d6ffff8f983f2261f3.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>^^ Wexler <a href="http://doubleddie.com/2587137.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/2587137.html" rel="nofollow">2021-D 1c WDDR-002</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://doubleddie.com/mediac/450_0/media/89c4402e515d5252ffff85df3f6906d9.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>^^ Wexler <a href="http://doubleddie.com/2551537.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/2551537.html" rel="nofollow">2018-D 10c WDDR-002</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I am interested in what you all think about this, as it seems the doubling in some doubled dies on more-recent coinage is of a much lower relief than the original design element and a little contradictory to the picture of the &quot;Actual Doubled Die&quot; in the commonly used infographic. Maybe these doubled dies like the ones shown above are more common after the introduction of single-squeeze hubbing presses in 1996 and 1997 (<a href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" rel="nofollow">source</a> in case anyone&#039;s interested).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
