What do you make of this? It's strongest on DOLL and the entire western half of the reverse lettering, leaves, and wing tips with minimal to no doubling on the extreme eastern side. I have another '65 with similar findings but not to this extent. Report this Post to the Staff

EDIT: I just noticed the date! I would also keep it because it is part silver. Edited by CoinsKelly 01/24/2013 12:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 2:46 pm I have never seen a slab with the notation of " Machine Doubling" although I suppose there could be a few out there. Not only is it completely pointless but you would also have to spend extra money for the notation. It would be the equivalent of getting a "Die Chips" or "Die Polishing" notation, they are all an acceptable part of the minting process, not an error or variety, and do not add any value to a coin. As far as a TPG confusing MD with hub doubling, TPGs do sometimes make mistakes but I would like to think that any so-called professional grader that made such an atrocious mistake would be out of a job because there should not be any confusion between the two in the hands of someone who has examined and graded thousands of coins for a living.
