Is it pronounced Double die or Doubled die? I've only been collecting for 6 days now🤹. 0

It's pronounced Doubled Die, which this coin is not.

How can you only have been collecting six days when you have been a member for about 1 1/2 years?

Don't indulge the troll....we've explained a dozen times the difference between a real double die and mechanical doubling.

Thanks Matt_dac, another name for my "Do not respond" list.

Slow learner.  It's taken 1 1/2 years to acquire 6 days of knowledge.

Technically it is a “doubled die” and not a “double die” but more people use the incorrect term “double die” than the correct terminology.  I think this is because of the two

D’s together at the end of the first and the beginning of the second word.  The “elision” process causes both D’s  to be dropped because it is just easier to say “double die”.

It's one die hubbed twice, hence "doubled die"...

Sloppy diction. Why do you ask?
