Is this a DD?

[KarenHolcomb]

Ok, is this a DD or not? Don't bother look for already referenced ones because it's not there.  It's probably not because the ones tgat look too obvious to me never are and the ones that are I just don't see. So this is my last attempt. I will kniw for sure what one looks like with the answer to this question. Thanks! Anyway, now I accidentally deleted the photo of the obverse and have zero idea which cent it was or where it is. Sooo...go figure.

Notice how the highest part of the doubled letters is skinnier than a normal letter? That is a.good sign that it is machine doubling. If it were a doubled die, it would look like a normal size letter on top of another letter, if that makes any sense.

This does appear to be machine doubling damage. The dies bounded just after striking, causing a tier or shelf-like affect on parts of some of the lettering.

Which is why the term "strike damage" would, technically, not be correct. It happened after the strike. That is also why some numismatic authors consider it post- mint damage.

Here's an NGC article that illustrates this kind of doubling and other forms that are die doubling:

Yes, yes. I think i finally have it all figured out. If it actually looks like a double letter it's not, and if it's fat and/or squooshy it is. Right? Now what about this one??? Boom! It's an unrecognized DD isn't it? Or else I don't hve it at all, in which case I am forced to say something about a spoon. Someone here is totally going going to get that reference if he sees it.

Just another case of strike doubling, aka mechanical or machine doubling.

Yes, so I heard. The good thing is that now I think I'm clear on DD v/s MD. The ones that really looked like a doubled character are not DD's and the ones that look like mush are.
