WheatHunter Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 08/24/2015 10:04 am I was looking through my 10 rolls of 2015-D North Carolina quarters and found this. The area I'm looking at is the upper right tip of "exposed" bricks on the tunnel. Since I'm a super newbie I wasn't sure if it was a double die or MD or something else? I wish I had better pictures, but this is the best I could do. First is the quarter in question. Second is a normal one for comparison. Thanks in advance for helping me out.

WheatHunter Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 08/24/2015 11:19 am Yes, as best I can tell it is like a step. So what would it be called and what caused it? Report this Post to the Staff

Since MD has the whole die move/bounce shouldn't there be doubling on the whole design? Obviously doubling is only visible in certain places on the design, but so far I only see it on the one area. I'll have to take a better look for doubling in other areas. (Picture with arrows incoming) Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/24/2015 2:08 pm Note how the machine damage reduces the size of the devices: Hub doubling makes the devices enlarged on the coins because the die is doubled. Thus the term doubled die. A machine damaged coin is usually a normal die with slight die movement during the strike. Sometimes called a bounce. So they are not a doubled die, as the die is usually not doubled. (But sometimes a doubled die can show the machine damage on them) Edited by coop 08/24/2015 2:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
