Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 09:59 am MD...notice how the doubling cuts into the device. (When you take away the doubling and the device is smaller than normal, that's an indicator of MD.) Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 10:53 am Machine Doubling is mashed down to the surface of the coin. On doubled dies the doubling is in 3-D relief just like the primary devices. Maineman brings up the other more or less obvious point to consider. I would recommend purchasing one nice example of a real doubled die and studying it closely. It will solve all the confusion quickly, and if this is your hobby of choice, it's a necessary step to understanding the difference. You can usually find a decent example of 1995P-1DO-001 in a spotty BU grade for around $15-$20. It's well worth the investment to be able to see the real thing in person.
