Ironically the Quarter and Penny look to have DDO or MD also. Jefferson nickle. Dime Thank you All. Sorry still learning to adjust the picture sizes. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 12:14 pm Machine doubling. Your looking at the outside edges of the devices. On a Doubled Die, the spread on them are on the centers of the devices, making them look wider.. Machine Doubling and die wear is what you will find on the outside edges of devices. You are seeing where the contour of the device was flattened by the machine. The spread enlarges the devices: On Machine Doubling the edge is looking like a 90 degree corner on the affected area. Note on the example above the lack of that look. You see the spread lines on the top of devices, not on the edges. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 104628 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 5:00 pm DDO and MD is very hard for a lot of folks to see the difference. One way to look at the thickness of the devices - if they are thinner - then it is MD. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 5:53 pm Also the affected edge of the devices are 90 degree angles. The contour of the devices that were there, are no longer there, because the devices were damaged. You can have Machine Doubling on a doubled die, but Machine Doubling never makes a doubled die. The doubled die, is what makes a doubled die coin. Edited by coop 06/10/2022 5:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
