Machine Doubling is a plague. It would be interesting to see how many MD examples you can find in a box of cents, compared with doubled dies. I know with the ATB Quarters, with the incuse devices the MD is at 70% of the that coinage.

thanks Evan7, I used to use my phone and a homemade holder but the lighting was always off, so I took the advice of the experts and now I have a usb microscope with homemade lighting and platform.
I agree with coop great point, and for us beginners its sooooo difficult to distinguish sometimes

@coop, if I'm buying a slabbed variaty, it's going to be NGC or ANACS. PCGSs' variaty department is quite awful and gets it wrong as often as they do right. ANACS might not have the name, but they have the best varity dept in the business.

I think the worse MD I've seen is on the date of a coin is a 1969-S Cent:  Runner up: 1957 Cents   |

On the PCGS coins, they sell for more and you will probably get a better return for the money. Plus you can check them on line to see if they are really the real deal or not. They have very large images. So you will be more able to see more problems with the larger images. I'm recommending being sure, before you buy the coin. If any question at all, move on to another coin. So I'm not saying they make a lot of mistakes, just every now and then. Be sure you are getting the right coin by seeing the variety on the coin regardless of what grading company. If you can't then move on to another coin. Be firmly convinced before you buy.

I misunderstood and thought you wanted us to pick out the correct variety.
So the 6th image (STATES OF, E PLURIBUS UNUM with #3319774) of the original group is an FS 801?
I've always liked ANACS because I feel they are geared more towards collectors since they attribute all varieties not just the ones with FS#'s.

They are great, but I was just trying to help you see that they can be wrong. So just make sure they are correct on something you would buy in the future. The last image on each grouping is the correct die. It is the middle image that they incorrectly slabbed. If you are looking at an auction online and you can see the the slabs certification numbers, then you can search their site to see what that coin looks like up close and then you can determine if it is the real deal or not yourself.

They are random. Happens on one coin and the next few will be normal. When they adjust the machine, the problem goes away. It would be neat to find an OBW roll to examine. But probably one of the most common MD examples to be posted is the 1957-D. A few examples already posted here:  Edited by coop
