I see MD. MD is when the coin is being ejected from the color after striking, the coin scrapes up against the die, pushing it downwards.

I hope Coop gets in on this one. I downloaded the large pic of the PCGS link Harriet H posted and looked at it closeup. The PCGS coin, to me, looks like hers. If hers is MD, then I would think the PCGS one is also. I see flat, shelf like doubling and the lettering seems thinner from the doubling. I don't see notching on either one, and I note both pieces are doubled in the same areas as one another. I really thought I had the MD concept down pat after looking through a microscope at thousands of halves the past few years. But evidently I have more to learn.  Had I found either of these halves I would have thought them both to be MD (although I like the looks of them). How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

I see MD but we would need Beyond better pics to be 100%.

Thanks guys, I think I will get it sent to PCGS to see. It's worth trying anyway :)

Please let us know the results. I just sent Coop a request to tell us what this is. This is an area of his expertise.

Can we see the obverse? And I would post it in the grading section before sending it in. It might have been cleaned.

The penny shows results of what can happen to the surface and design if a coin is put up against a wire wheel (like a grinder - but a wheel of wire). I have seen it even cause doubling like in the letters LIBE on yours.

Looks like the FS-50-1946-801-(011.1) doubled die from the Cherry Pickers Guide. The glare from the lighting is hiding the doubling on the EPU. I would like to see an image of that area with the light source 180 degrees from what you usually take the image. The "LURIBUS AND UM" should show strong doubling in those areas. 48 Edited by coop

@coop I have appreciated your pictures and many listings on DDO vs MD. Can you explain to me how this and the PCGS piece are DDO though? My eye sees flat, shelf like doubling, and the devices appear smaller. I thought these were keys to identifying MD? What am I not understanding here? How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

doubling, and the devices appear smaller I think that they are a little thick while being reduced. E PLURIBUS UNUM would be helpful to see. |

Thanks guys, I appreciate your replies. I am not too bothered about that Liberty half dollar, it just hurts my eyes :) It's up for grabs, whoever is interested http://stores.ebay.com/harriettravelsHarriet |

This first pic shows a normal reverse no DDR.  The following is the strong DDR. Machine Doubling has the shelf like doubling usually in only one direction.Here you can see true doubling is separated in more than on direction.  |
