Murphy Valued Member United States 381 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 01:18 am I found this while searching $100 CWR today. I need some help determining if this is true doubling or Machine Doubling. I hope the photos are good enough. I took them with my phone. If not, let me know, and I'll have to borrow a camera to take better photos. There is a shadow on the forehead in this photo it is not doubled. There is doubling on the nose and lips. I can see evidence of doubling in all the letters on the obverse and reverse along with Jefferson's nose, lips, and back of hair. The reverse shows doubling on the dome also. I do not know enough about doubling to make an educated guess at this point. I have tried to study the photo that is on this forum that shows the difference between a true doubling and Machine Doubling. I am still having trouble with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Murphy, Here is an excellent post discussing the difference between Machine Doubling and hub doubling.: http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=51410 I am not totally sure about your particular coin and will hold off on giving an opinion at this time. One of the reasons for my hesitancy is because it is difficult to determine from these photos the presence or not of notching... fyi, mdpmedia Report this Post to the Staff

Murphy Valued Member United States 381 Posts	Posted 10/04/2012 9:56 pm Thanks mdpmedia and sab3927. I apologize for the poor quality photos. They are from my phone. I have read the post about the difference between Machine Doubling and hub doubling before. I was having trouble finding any notching also. Most of the doubling is on the dome and the nose and lips. There are no real corners to find notching. I have come to the conclusion that it is probably Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
