[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 1808039, member: 4350"]The grooves and notches , particularly on the R of TRUST as well as the direction of the doubling indicate that the coin is a doubled die. Also, in the images, the doubling may appear flat but in hand, it is more rounded and duplicates the doubled portions. Also, the lettering is larger in appearance and not made smaller by the metal movement caused by machine doubling. The term is machine doubling although many years ago, mechanical doubling was a term in use by those who didn't know that the term really was machine doubling. "VD" or vibration doubling is not a term that exists since it is near impossible to determine if machine doubling was caused by a twist of the die, a hop of the die, a vibration of the die, or a problem with the coin being ejected from the die after the strike. They all look the same. Also, I am not revisiting this thread to hash out the same old , same old.[/QUOTE]
