mb560600 Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 08/28/2020 10:30 pm This 1976 Cent has doubling on the reverse at UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. It begins at the I in UNITED and continues thereafter. I checked Wexler and Variety Vista and could find no prior reports of DDR for this date. At first I suspected MD or DDD. But upon further examination I noted that the doubling is not flat, but rounded on all of the lettering. Also, the final S in STATES has a split serif at the lower portion of the letter. And, there is notching at the top of some of the lettering--see the right edge of the top of T and E in UNITED. These errors would appear to indicate that this is a Doubled Die error based upon the DDR reports in other Lincoln cents with such phenomena. I look forward to your comments. Thanks.

mb560600 Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 08/29/2020 12:02 am Rich--What about the split serif on the S? What about the notching on the T and E? Also, the doubling is not flattened, but rather is rounded. Are'nt those all characteristics of DDR in other reported cases in Variety Vista? Could this be an example where there is both DDR and MD? Do you have examples of MD that include such doubling characteristics? I'm trying to understand how to distinguish the different error types. Report this Post to the Staff

mb560600 Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 08/29/2020 8:02 pm Thanks coop and merclover. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something other than the MD. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/29/2020 8:54 pm It is also part of the Machine Doubling. On a doubled die, those devices in that area would all be affected: Note that the devices are wider in size. Machine Doubling is a reduction (damage) to the normal size of the devices.
