    A close up photo of the PUPS (pick up points) would be needed in order to determine whether its true die doubling or machine doubling.

    Split serif separation as opposed to a flat and shelflike look. That is the first sign, but is not always fullproof. We'll await your close up photos.

    Not really. Both machine doubling and DDO's and DDR's can show on only a small part of the coin. Really need to see some close up pics. image
