1972-LMC.-Seeking-Your-Opinions.
Examples of different types of Machine Doubling.
Now compare a MD example with a real doubled die:
1972-LMC.-Seeking-Your-Opinions.
Seeing them side by side, helps to see the differences. Note how the DDO devices are taller because of the hub doubling on the doubled die.
Sometimes the hub doubling makes the devices wider:

But seeing them side by side is a better way to determine if it is normal or a doubled die or Machine Doubling. When the devices are enlarged, the closed devices, 'B' and 'R' get smaller on these areas.

I hear you Dowhat... been there...so difficult for beginners to see these subtleties. I have stopped posting anything that doesn't match an already discovered DD. If the markers don't match existing it doesn't fly. I am not equipped yet for good photography and that makes it even harder to show what I think I am seeing. Years from now maybe I will get the hang of it.

I hear you Cons, if it hasn't already been found, more than likely, it does not exist.
That always makes me wonder about the person that found the next one that did not exist.
Hell, when it comes right down to it , do I even exist?
I enjoy being in the moment. Anything is possible.
Searching up another keeper right now.

You were "seeking opinions" yet didn't like what I said in my reply. I told you the truth, your coin was Machine Doubling. I suggest you become familiar with the minting process, then read past pages here on CCF to find what DDO's look like as well as Machine Doubling (and the differences between the two). Once you master these, you'll find looking up doubled dies within the reference sites to be a breeze. All of this research takes practice, and like anything else, the more you do it, the better you'll get at it.

I've been a member here on CCF for over a decade now, and I'm still learning and trying to help others along the way. Sorry for the bluntness of my reply, but I try to assist as many members as I can, and we have a lot of new collectors who need help as well. And FYI, this: is part of my signature, being one of the few females here in a mostly male dominated field. Think what you like about it, but I like it.
