Dearborn Moderator United States 97436 Posts	Posted 05/22/2022 4:55 pm That is a perfect example of MD. Notice how much thinner the lettering has gotten and the step like appearance. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19210 Posts	Posted 05/22/2022 6:04 pm Agree, text book Machine Doubling. Suggest keeping it in a 2x2 as a fun example. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/22/2022 6:23 pm Note all the areas are on the outside edge of the devices. The contour is removed. I call this push doubling. The MD has pushed the metal so far the centers of the devices are smaller than normal. Not enlarged. Note the Big DDO: Your coin is showing a reduction that is typical of Machine Doubling.

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 05/22/2022 11:11 pm @hwb, it seems like the late '60s into the early '70s were a time when many cents with Machine Doubling were minted. Sometimes we see that on the date, but I like yours, with the MD especially visible on LIBERTY.
