Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74639 Posts	Posted 06/13/2018 2:02 pm That's not a Doubled Die Obverse. That's just Machine Doubling, which is very common on the 1969-1972 Lincoln Memorial Cents. Here's some helpful information from doubleddie.com Quote: We define "doubled die" doubling as doubling produced on hubs or dies as a result of a misalignment of the images on the hub and die at some point during the hubbing process. Your coin shows Machine Doubling, since you can see the reduction of the devices and how it's shelflike in appearance. Check out doubleddie.com and read up on how Doubled Die are made and how they happen. Please read the material I've provided for you. http://doubleddie.com/1801.html Errers and Varietys.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 06/13/2018 3:54 pm You also see a slight MAD, A heavy strike, off set to the NE. Just shows how loose the dies were in their holders, a lot of movement then happens as the pressure of striking bleeds off...like a hammer and nail, remember? The bounces move more when loose than when tight in housing. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74639 Posts	Posted 06/13/2018 9:00 pm For some reason, the U.S. Mint seemed to have a lot of problems with the die being loose. That's what causes the Machine Doubling. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/14/2018 9:50 pm MD was more the normal that year. Even the Doubled die suffered with it. Of the ones on PCGS, 70% had this doubled die and machine doubled issue that year. Edited by coop 06/14/2018 9:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 06/14/2018 10:53 pm I believe you are asking why it is Machine Doubling, while the devices appear to be enlarged. In fact, they are reduced in size. It's just harder to tell because of the MD. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/15/2018 09:45 am But one type of Machine Doubling does enlarge the devices. It is called push doubling. Still caused the same way, but pushes devices in a direction. http://www.error-ref.com/?s=push+doubling Report this Post to the Staff
