1958 D double die?

11 posts in this topic

I think you just have strike doubling. Essentially the die shifts/slides during striking. Admittedly this is a somewhat complex numismatic area determining doubling causes. However, to help below is a link from the hosts that gives you some information on what to look for. 
 

Hope this helps

The essential difference is that with strike doubling the effect is unique to the specific coin, while the die itself is normal and not doubled.

You can think of mechanical doubling as "Double Fudge" if you want....

A "doubled die coin" was struck from a die on which there is a doubled image. All coins from that die will be virtually identical. Die making basics: Until a couple of decades ago, it took several blows from the hub to transfer all detail to a working die. IF there was any mismatch between blows, parts of the design would be out of alignment and thus, doubled, or possibly tripled.

Ok so the die is getting loose or worn out. Thanks for the input JT2

Worn out and distorted --- not loose, however.
