It's the weekend - bust out some of those Double Dies!

The O-108 is a doubled die error reverse. There is doubling on the upper side of the left wing tip to to the left of all three claws and the left talon. The doubling is strongest on the three lower pairs of leaves, berries and berry stems of the olive branch. Light doubling is seen on the second and third talons and back of the two lower arrowheads. This was caused when the hub (which consists of the eagle/arrows/olive branch image) was a little off during the second impression into the die.

okay, I'll say it:

 

It is doubleD die

 

Enforcing precision of terminology is only appropriate in a specialist forum. In a general audience forum, "double die" is as good as "doubled die".

Very cool Ray!

 

I think you explained how you were able to achieve these images in another thread. I looked for it but was unable to come up with anything. Care to share again?

Seems like the lincolns are the primary ones were you don't need a magnifying glass to see the doubling........on most others, I'm not even sure were the doubling is!

Just because it is not a 'specialist forum' is not a good reason for improper terminology.
