There's not really any "max magnification." If you can spot it, the classification, under any magnification, it's a doubled-die.

Well worn or not, most of the commonly accepted DDO and DDR coins have nicely split serifs and/or clear letter separation which is easy to detect.
Basically, if you find yourself having to use a lot of imagination, then it's probably not a doubled die.
