Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2521 Posts	Posted 11/24/2015 5:32 pm Looks more like MD (machine damage) to me. The doubling is flat and shelf-like. Report this Post to the Staff

steve123 Pillar of the Community Canada 805 Posts	Posted 11/25/2015 08:28 am Thanks for the answers but I was looking at this coin because of the "flaking" appearance, not that I thought it may be doubling. If you look at the second pic at the 9, 6 and C, it looks more like a flaking effect than doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 11/25/2015 10:21 am It is ejection doubling and there is tiny bits of copper flake, not unusual in a factory setting. As the die's wear down little tiny dust like particles are everywhere. IMO Report this Post to the Staff
