Ordinarily I am not at all impressed by Machine Doubling, it's so common, but this one caught my attention. Interestingly, it only affects the date and no other devices.

Dang that is some serious Machine Doubling! If you were to just base it off the 5 it would look like a Doubled die but the 1 is an obvious marker of the Machine Doubling. Great example and definitely 2x2 worthy!

Wow. Why is it that MD can often affect only a certain region?

Here is a pic of the entire obverse. Really, the only other anomaly is a die chip on the lower loop of the B in Liberty.

Oh wow. I knew they say Machine Doubling isn't worth much, but I know I would buy it just because of how dramatic it is. Awesome find!

That IS impressive! If I found that in the wild I would have done a doubled take. (Sorry, couldn't pass an opportunity for a pun)

Perhaps the height (or depth) of a device is more susceptible to the movement thus leaving other devices/features alone. Just thinking.

with Rackster. I read that is why so many mintmarks have Strike Doubling and nothing else does. They are usually the last point of contact with the die.
