Did I really just find a 1974D doubled die Ken?

Mechanical doubling has a flat, shelflike appearance- a true doubled die appears more like a doubled image, with original features.

Put the two side by side and you'll see the difference under a loupe.

Yup! You got one!

Now they will start coming like crazy, at least that's what happened to me. Now I have 20+ 1974d ddo's.
