SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 11/08/2018 7:02 pm The date and LIBERTY have Machine Doubling (MD) also referred to as Strike Doubling. The devices are reduced in size, which is a marker for MD. Also, the doubling is shelflike. Machine Doubling is common and happens due to a mechanical issue with how the coin is struck. Not a doubled die and doesn't increase the value of the coin. More info here: https://errorvariety.com/OFD/MD.html Report this Post to the Staff

I wish there was a class or course for coins. There's a lot of information online; however, it can still be difficult for those who have ADD. Thanks to you again. Shawn Report this Post to the Staff
