DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 11/15/2009 6:00 pm The date on this German coin stood out, so I've taken pics. Is it MD or DD? And could anyone please remind me, what's the difference? .. in simple words - please don't copy a definition from somewhere.. How about the weird toning on these 2 coins, should this be classified as AT? Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 11/15/2009 7:15 pm The German coin is interesting I think see notching on the two 9 digits in the date. Closeups of the date and the letters C,A,D in DEUTSCHLAND might confirm it as a doubled die. Update--here are two areas where I see separation that I wouldn't expect on an MD coin.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 11/16/2009 11:00 am That is definitely a doubled die- nice separation on the letters Notice that the sharp corners of the lettering are notched and separated(most obvious with the two points of A). It is not just an outline of the lettering but instead completely separate lettering. MD would just be a flat, shelf-like outline of the lettering with no separation. As for the Austrian(?) and Hungarian coins, do they have a brass composition? It has the appearance of cleaned brass that has retoned, not necessarily AT though. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 11/16/2009 11:25 am Yes, those pics really help--I agree with biokemist This is also a good example of the date being on the hub when the die was made, since it's doubled like the rest. Report this Post to the Staff
