Danzil New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 03:34 am Nice penny! I'm by no means an expert but, the images & tutorials I've watched & read, it looks really close to it! I kinda looks like a worn or wearing die. I really don't know though! 🤷 #127996;#8205;#9794;#65039; Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 49270 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 04:46 am Looks like MD to me. Did you check all three-reference site we all need to do to find an attribution number?By doing that you also learn to recognize the differences between MD and hub doubling.

Fdock9 New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 05:20 am I definitely checked Wexlers, variety vista, andmost of my books. But I'm at a loss because at first it seems like Machine Doubling or die wear but everything on the reverse design has some sort of doubling and it was noticeable before I magnified it. But of you think it's just die wear or MD I'll take your word for it you usually know what you are talking about, thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 26368 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 06:24 am @fdo, the way that you can know that this type of doubling is Machine Doubling is by the steplike appearance, where the design elements are made thinner. Also, with MD, you won't see any split serifs. Yours is a great example of this phenomenon.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 17910 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 06:39 am The reduced devices is enough to tell that it is MD. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 11183 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 07:19 am Machine Doubling for me, and a nice example too. Consider dropping it into a 2x2 for future reference. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 61632 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 1:05 pm This discussion inspired me to answer a question that has been haunting me for years. When did the reverse dies change over from the multi hub dies to the single squeeze dies on cents? The answer is on this link: http://goccf.com/t/422965 The answer might surprise you? Richard S. Cooper Some have asked about my images I use and I'm glad to say, you can now you can see the DVD in sections on youtube: 1. Intro, older coins, toned coins 2. Doubled dies 3. Die events, One of a kind errors 4. So called errors, Coin information 5.
