Hi all !
I have this nice coin : https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces12990.html

Date and lettering seem doubled. Or is this a recut die ?

Thanks for your opinion !

Definitely not a recut die. This is due to machine doubling where if the die is not properly seated the planchet shifts during the strike causing this effect of a slight overlap and is not considered to be a true variety. This is not to be confused with a double die coin.
