1969 S Doubling?

[Sam1966]

Would this be considered doubling?

[Sam1966]

I have indicated in red marking what I think is some of the doubling on the 9, 6 and 9 of the date and on the GOD. These areas are raised not flat like shelf doubling, so I guess what I am saying is I am really confused why this is not doubled die. You can see where the doubling on the 9's are together and separate from the thickness of the die. Confused.

This is typical machine doubling. Notice how the to top loops of the nines are narrower than they should be. They have been reduced down to a thin strip. The part that was there has been compressed back down to near the level of the fields. With raised devises on doubled dies the devises will be thicker. Machine doubling typically reduces the devices.

Thanks N-6503. That is useful information for identifying machine doubling

As noted, the 1969S above has machine doubling.
