theBoneyard514 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 11/08/2018 2:50 pm I see the doubling up close on the microscope, but zoomed out it leaves. Is this a true doubling of the date, or a light trick? Found in a $25 box today from the bank. TIA Report this Post to the Staff

SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 11/08/2018 2:59 pm Your coin has Machine Doubling (MD) also referred to as Strike Doubling. The devices are reduced in size, which is a marker for MD. Also, the doubling is shelflike. Machine Doubling is common and happens due to a mechanical issue with how the coin is struck. Not a doubled die and doesn't increase the value of the coin. More info here: https://errorvariety.com/OFD/MD.html Report this Post to the Staff
