I thought I would post this photo of a really good example of Mechanical Doubling, it is the strongest I have come across.
Might help others...

Hi wrongalot

have you got your own gallery on the forum yet ?

I think the problem with the first photo is the symbols in your file name,, no symbols only letters and numbers,,

that problem goes away if you upload to the gallery instead of through the forum system.

Thanks for sharing the pics !!

That is a nice case of Machine Doubling.

Hi chuckster and welcome to the forum!

Generally, Mechanical Doubling will not have a premium associated with it.

Thank you!
I did not think it was of any significant value.

The heaviest cases of Machine Doubling (like the subject coin of this thread) often sell for a couple of dollars as educational pieces. Nothing more than that, really. Their value is more a novelty than an issue of rarity as with true hub doubled dies.
