cocoanutz Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 03/10/2020 7:15 pm Hello CCF. Ok. I never gave up. And now please help me verify the DDO in IGWT of this penny. Also, please look at rest of the obverse -- date and LIBERTY as well? I got excited and didn't get to take a closer look for DDR. Thanks for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/10/2020 7:16 pm Looks like Machine Doubling to me. Edited by Coinfrog 03/10/2020 7:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
cocoanutz Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 03/10/2020 7:25 pm Thanks for looking. Can you help me w why this is? I see the die and devices are wider and not mushed machine metal. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/10/2020 7:40 pm Letters appear reduced in size from the first strike - a characteristic of Machine Doubling. But I am not an expert on this - I hope more knowledgeable collectors chime in. If Dr. Coop is watching, he will resolve this. Edited by Coinfrog 03/10/2020 7:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/11/2020 04:47 am I am having trouble seeing any type of doubling. Also,remember there is known master die doubling that year that people mistake as MD and a DDO. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

cocoanutz Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 03/16/2020 6:31 pm Hello Team CCF. UPDATE images Here is doing my very best (during regular daylight, for 1 light source with several windows still absorbing light at different angles that I am trying to block out..I live in California). Please help analyze. Thank you. HERE are images of this coin that I have Qs on for a 2nd review please: obverse (the letters are a lot thicker and has rise and falls ..like mountain peaks and then valleys) closer up images Report this Post to the Staff
CherryPicker1 Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 03/17/2020 09:16 am I agree with Machine Doubling. You can see how the doubling it flat and shelflike, and the original devices are smaller. Report this Post to the Staff
