drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 07:56 am The possible rpm on the S is hard to see, but I thought it might be possible. Is this just an extreme case of machine/ejection doubling? Report this Post to the Staff
timsumrall Pillar of the Community United States 1256 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 09:06 am Looks like Machine Doubling to me. Report this Post to the Staff
drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 09:09 am The extra curve next to the 9 looks rounded to me, not shelf-like, on normal Machine Doubling. That's what makes me curious about this one. Report this Post to the Staff

drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 2:04 pm Yes, that's what makes me think Machine Doubling, but again, the extra 9 looks like it has curved detail to me. Report this Post to the Staff
copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 2:35 pm The last 9 in the date looks to have the same effect as found on the 1955 "Poor Man's" Doubled Die. Probably die fatigue, unfortunately. As far as the MM is concerned, that could be repunched. Maybe this one here on the coppercoins website: http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=lds Edited by copper nickel daddy 03/05/2012 2:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
