elliottite Valued Member United States 276 Posts	Posted 08/18/2026 02:19 am Hello, Being on the penny hunt once again I came across this well worn and seen better days coin. Examination under the scope shows some sort of doubling but only in the date. No other signs of this anywhere on the coin. Wondering what the experts think about that. Thank you.__ Report this Post to the Staff

elliottite Valued Member United States 276 Posts	Posted 08/18/2026 07:04 am That is what I was thinking as well. Didn't realize Machine Doubling could only effect one device. I thought when a coin has Machine Doubling that most devices on that coin would have it as well. Thank you for the knowledge. Edited by elliottite 08/18/2026 07:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
