southsav Pillar of the Community 2223 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 4:43 pm I was looking at this 88 LMC and referred back to Coppercoins' prior post re MD vs Hub Doubling (DD). It is still a very valuable reference that should be bookmarked by all. https://goccf.com/t/51410#51410 In any event, this 88 didn't look like the typical MD I see. There is no notching that I can see. Its not a DD. I'm guessing its probably Die Deterioation causing the step down effect? Am I calling this correct? All opinions welcome.

southsav Pillar of the Community 2223 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 4:57 pm I'm going to take this back.... it does have the shelf like appearance, so now I'm back tracking to MD. Just trying to tone my skills. Either case it goes back to the bank. Report this Post to the Staff

Die Deterioration Doubling doesn't look anything like this, really. It gives more of a ghostly appearance to the outside edge of stuff...not the razor sharp edge like this coin.
