Danieliop1 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 05/31/2019 1:51 pm Seems like doubling to me! Cause it seems they printed the first layer but that was an error so they reprinted it which causes the doubling effect, which I believe how they do it. Report this Post to the Staff

examiner Valued Member United States 176 Posts	Posted 05/31/2019 2:03 pm Thanks, Danieliop1, but I don't think that is how doubling happens. I believe it has something to do with the condition of the die when the striking occurs, but I'm new to this. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/31/2019 2:03 pm It is Machine Doubling. (which is a poor term for it as nothing is doubled) Machine Doubling reduces the size of the devices. Enlarging the image more shows that after the strike happened, the the dies damaged the devices after the strike Sometimes with a hop/slide/twist or bounce. I usually call it machine damage rather than machine doubling because, nothing is actually doubled. Instead a doubled die shows a raised area and not an incuse area on the devices: Edited by coop 05/31/2019 2:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
