yuengling101 Valued Member United States 232 Posts	Posted 12/15/2011 5:33 pm I spent a good hour trying to confirm whether or not htis is a DDR. At first I thought it was just the light but after changing light sources many times I still see it. Here are some pics, about the best I can do sorry. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/15/2011 6:41 pm Very classic case of Machine Doubling. no notching, the 'doubling' is flattened down like it was mashed into the coin, and the 'doubling' takes away from the normal thickness of the devices...because what you are seeing are parts of the normal devices mashed down when the die bounced on the coin.

yuengling101 Valued Member United States 232 Posts	Posted 12/15/2011 7:15 pm So does this Machine Doubling make it anything special? are double dies and Machine Doubling different? (sorry I know very little about error coins) Report this Post to the Staff
timsumrall Pillar of the Community United States 1256 Posts	Posted 12/15/2011 8:17 pm Aim small miss small. Good job ! They are very different. One happens at strike (MD) one happens to the working die (DD). Consider the classic 1955 DDO. The working die was "imprinted" with the doubling which in turn allowed multiple strikes with the DDO "pattern". Machine Doubling is a bad strike- nothing more - so no premium. Some super examples might be sellable. I wouldn't consider this one as such. Report this Post to the Staff
