Has anybody ever heard of a 1882-s that is doubled?

I have checked through VAM numbers but can't find it, but I am certain that is doubled. It is doubled on the top of the date (especially the last "82") and on a few of the stars I see some doubling. I wish I could post some pics, but I don't have a camara that zooms that close (you can't really see the doubling unless your using a loupe).

Are you sure it's not machine doubling? I wouldn't be able to give you a VAM number because I don't collect them, but if it's machine doubling (flattened, shelf-like) then it wouldn't have a VAM number to begin with.

Read this thread if you're not sure.

Hi,

Thanks for the link. It is just machine doubling.

There are about 2 dozen different vams for the 82-S dealing just with doubled dates so we can't help you without a picture.

Every known die marriage has a VAM number. A VAM number merely is an attribution of a known die pair and are assigned in a similar fashion to Overton numbers for early halfs.

BTW is the plural of half dollars "halfs" or should it also be "halves"?
