elliottite Valued Member United States 262 Posts	Posted 08/08/2022 4:39 pm Hello and Hi everyone. Upon inspecting some recent coin roll hunting half dollar finds, I found this bicentennial Kennedy that has either some serious Machine Doubling or maybe a DDO. I'm putting my piggy's on MD but would love to hear from the others. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/08/2022 4:47 pm I call that a medium bounce, Machine Doubling. What would a high bounce Machine Doubling look like: Not a premium for these. They are machine doubled, not hub doubled, meaning the die was normal. On a doubled die, the doubling is on the die. See the spread on the centers of this Doubled Die? Thus looking at the centers of the devices is where you will see a doubled die. Edited by coop 08/08/2022 4:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34448 Posts	Posted 08/08/2022 5:14 pm Yes good work @ell, thinking is is more likely MD. As shown by @coop a doubled die results in wider design elements, whereas the Machine Doubling has made yours narrower.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/10/2022 9:28 pm Well I have over 13K images to put thread together with. Sometimes it's hard to find the right image among the masses. But always have a lot of thoughts to share on different subjects with lots of images to make it easier to digest.
