Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 77327 Posts	Posted Today 10H 55M ago Is Machine Doubling even a thing on edge lettering? This kind of thing isn't in my wheelhouse, so I'll let the others chime in. If any member can answer my question, that would be great. I want to learn more about it. Errers and Varietys.

I would imagine that Incuse Doubling on edge lettering should be the same as on any other incuse lettering. https://www.error-ref.com/?s=Incuse Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8913 Posts	Posted Today 1H 2M ago I would be interested in knowing how the edge lettering is applied. Are they struck or is it made into the collar, and at what point are they put there if struck, before or after the coin itself is struck? ADDED: This explains it somewhat, so it would appear to be after. LINK https://www.error-ref.com/absent-edge-lettering/ -makecents- Edited by -makecents- Today 55M ago Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21788 Posts	Posted Today 23M ago To add to the site that -makecents- supplied, the lettering is applied on a seperate machine by a disc with raised lettering known as a roller die. This is prone to slippage which can give the appearance of Machine Doubling. This is run at high speed so many minor anomolies can occur which add no value to the coin. The ones with the most value are coins where the lettering is missing. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8913 Posts	Posted Today 19M ago Thanks, JimmyD, that makes sense, I could not imagine it being actually "struck" into the edge as we think of obverse and reverse dies being struck. So this would make Machine Doubling as we know it impossible. I suppose it could still be considered a type of Machine Doubling as it was made by a machine. -makecents- Edited by -makecents- Today 19M ago Report this Post to the Staff
