okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5402 Posts	Posted 03/09/2025 7:05 pm I can't see the serifs closely enough to know for sure, but I think that it is machine or Mechanical Doubling (MD), rather than a double die, but a nice coin regardless. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 162803 Posts	Posted 03/10/2025 09:01 am I agree. Not a doubled die, but still a sharp looking coin! Coin Collector Since 1978 My Avatar My Old Avatar My 7070 My Eisenhower Dollars CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
Gus44 Valued Member Brazil 58 Posts	Posted 03/10/2025 1:07 pm Thanks for the comments! Now, wouldn't it be possible to have DDO with MD on this coin? I tried to take a better picture but the brightness of the coin makes it very difficult, and this is done with a 5 megapixel camera. What I got were these pictures, I focused on the D and the date. The number 1 at the bottom seems to have been damaged again, so it seems that its base is normal. Report this Post to the Staff

IMHO they are specimen coins removed from a set. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5402 Posts	Posted 03/11/2025 09:54 am No, it's still mechanical/machine doubling. Read the Wexler link that I pasted above and look at the examples further down in the article. It's still a neat coin, but just an error caused by the locks on the die coming loose and the planchet moves a little (microseconds) as the die rises up and off the planchet. Once the die is locked back in place the doubling stops. Report this Post to the Staff
