Is this proof my dcam proof has a double die

Hello, im inquiring about my recent find from a proof dcam set. As you can see from the pictures there seems to be doubling on this proof coin.

Many thanks for looking

    you need separated serifs, I can only see it possibly on the top of G in GOD. The rest could be ejection doubling and possibly related to being struck twice?

  • Thanks ifthevamzarockin and davewesen for giving a answer, im new to double dies and don't know the difference. I will have to reseach a bit more. Just the rest of my dcams don't have that issue so good to get a opinion.

    Many thanks.

    Proof coins are struck twice so the chances of machine doubling are enhanced.

  • Thank you all that commented, I did some research and just found out I got some letter smudges on my proof coin lol. Thanks for pointing me in the right learning direction 👍

    Where did you hear that?
