Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 07/11/2019 6:43 pm I found this in a Loomis roll last night. The E in ONE caught my eye so I took a closer look. It definitely looks like there's some Machine Doubling going on and it doesn't match the one DDR listed on Variety Vista, so I haven't gotten my hopes up. It does look to me like there's some notching, though, so I figure I should let the experts have a look before discounting it.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/11/2019 6:47 pm I agree with slight Machine Doubling. Note on the bottom of the cross bar on the 'T' on United. I can see the MD there also. The slight movement may have damaged the bottom of the 'T'. Report this Post to the Staff
Redifin Pillar of the Community United States 505 Posts	Posted 07/11/2019 6:50 pm I know that MD can notch sometimes, so if it's unlisted, I would be more inclined to go with MD. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75457 Posts	Posted 07/11/2019 8:09 pm I agree with Coop. It's Machine Doubling. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Just for my own education, how does Machine Doubling cause notching in the letters? I'm particularly looking at the Es. Report this Post to the Staff
