Decaf94drew Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 03:13 am I think I might have finally figured it all out this would help confirm if I do understand doubling. If pictures are to poor to tell from ill take it to the coin shop Tuesday and have them look instead. I know this coin has a ton of Die Deterioration however I'm still pretty sure this has actual doubling on it also Report this Post to the Staff

Decaf94drew Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 06:03 am the doubling isn't super major and this coins been circulated hardcore so it's definitely not an easy one to see on the UN in United or really anywhere but it is more visible in other places. Should be easier to see on HALF. Report this Post to the Staff

Decaf94drew Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 06:26 am It's on every letter around the rim with the same affect not to the same extent but the D in dollar shows it well doesn't look like MD to me and my photos prob aren't the greatest still so doesn't help ill probably just take it by my coin shop and have them look Edited by Decaf94drew 12/05/2021 06:32 am Report this Post to the Staff
Decaf94drew Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 06:44 am I'm not sure what is up with the way the inside the d, however it comes out of the d is different from other doubling I've seen I do believe? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97730 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 10:42 am I see the shelf like doubling that is usually associated with MD. Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 12:29 pm The Machine Doubling can happen on insides and outsides of the devices. On a doubled die, the spread is on the centers of the devices. (I was hoping I had some images of a DDR JFK half, but none. Seems like the inspection of the dies first strikes, the mint employees catch onto the DDRs. It is the subtle hub doubling they missing like on stars) Report this Post to the Staff

atrox001 Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 12/06/2021 10:36 am I don't think your photos show any significant doubling, attached is a photo of the doubling on the CONECA listed 72D DDR-002. Report this Post to the Staff
