coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/07/2012 06:58 am Image too dark to tell. But the 1968-1971 cents were very common on them to have Machine Doubling. Die movment during the strike that is flat and shelf like. When you mention doubling on the profile, that is Machine Doubling. It occurs from the damaging of the coin's devices during the strike. Here are a few examples: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ing_coop.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...erse_001.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...DOUBLING.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ed_REV_U.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...le_Cents.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...bling_05.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._To_Coin.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...nt_Marks.jpg On a Doubled die the devices are rounded. Not flat, shelf like: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ITED_REV.jpg Note The enlargement of the devices when compared with another normal coin: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._Regular.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...SE_E-PLU.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ERSE_EPU.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...SE_LINES.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...T_GRAINS.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...RSE_UNUM.jpg Machine Doubling reduces/damages/pushes the devices (Note the first image of the 1980, then compare with next link?): https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...DOUBLING.jpg A doubled die enlarges the devices: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._sources.jpg Edited by coop 02/07/2012 07:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
