What type of doubling?

Still trying to learn the differences between all the many doublings. I understand the method to a true double die and the others that are not so special bit occur still. I just am trying to learn how to spot them on my coins. Its not easy lol. Any advice on how to take a definition and apply it on my coins with their different pmd would be appreciated.

I call it UEMD -
Unnecessary Extreme Magnification Doubling

 

Doubled dies add to the width and thickness of a device. If we use the photos you provided. The thickness is reduced. All the letters are skinny. The doubling in this case is something mechanical and flattened the letter upon strike. If this were a doubled die the secondary doubling would be the same height as the original device and look thicker than normal, with separation lines and notching.

 

I’m still learning but I did want to raise my hand and say I know I know. Kidding with you. It is a lot to the doubled coins. Keep looking.

 

These are weird ones because they're from the single-squeeze hubbings. Translated, many are going to look like strike-doubling, when there was movement in the single-squeeze hubbing. In effect, they're strike-doubling, with all the attributes, shelf-like and flat, but at the hub-striking, not the planchet-striking stage. As such it wouldn't hardly be surprising were some expert nutcake to call this one a "doubled die." It's, again, caused from movement, that's all. What do I personally think of these? Eh?

 

I'm quoting a member of CoinTalk @desertgem who recently posted this statement

Quote "True doubled dies are basically gone. Single squeeze die production took over in 1997, and actual doubled dies technically could not be produced. However many new explanations of how there could be such still popped up as many "coin experts" had significant investment (websites, books, buy/sell, etc.).

IMO, some were difficult to accept how they were produced. One expert came up with a type IX called "God Only Knows" because to me (and them) it was impossible to say how it could occur. Many new collectors, get taken very often! Ebay, Etsy, CraigsList, etc. are like shopping in an old foreign trade shop. Many coin forums (such as this one) have sufficient expertise to call out whether it is "Good!" or not, and hopefully, newcomers can pick it up also.
There are some new true learners here who have shown great advances in making good judgement this year as they ask questions, read threads and articles, and notices the quirks of the coins and are the experts of tomorrow. IMO Jim.." Closed quote

 

It’s doubled but it’s not the type of doubling you want.

Anybody that thinks this happen from hopping, skipping or jumping, better think again

 

What they said.

I can't add anything to the discussion, because it has been well covered. Thank you to our knowledgable members.

 

+1

 

I Soo miss having those master listings.

 

Thats not the coin Kristine posted though.

 

I posted it because some of our members believe that skipping, hopping and jumping are causing these ddo(s) . These ddo(s) are made no different then the old days .

I've posted this info before, which was already admitted by the mint ..

Here's some info from that thread .

 

Here's the whole thread and make sure to read both pages .

Got a giggle on that one. First real smile today

 

Can see your really trying. I’m the same way. Glad these members have time to teach teach teach and not give up on answering questions

 

When in doubt throw it into the jug and save it for the grandkids. When I visit or see them. We talk about this stuff. They show me a few that look interesting. Put the in quarters holders(my inventory). And let them mark them. Grandkids found a 1998 wide AM on there own. Baby steps

 

This industry is so complicated that it is a blessing to have these guys to run to for knowledge for sure!

 

I am literally blind. I have to look at something then be able to apply a term to it. Its called learning. Just because I ask doesnt mean i think it is. Just tring to differentiate.
