ksmcents Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 07/12/2013 11:28 pm Been reading some previous posts on the topic. It seems there are 6 dies for 1940? Re-engraved or Machine Doubling? PS. - I am still actively practicing taking horrible photos, but confident that someday the pursuit and numerous "tweaks" will pay off with some decent imagery! Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 12:53 am I think the conclusion is that it is Machine Doubling. https://goccf.com/t/132930 https://goccf.com/t/55050 "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

ksmcents Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 01:12 am Thanks SPP (I missed the top thread). Very interesting...so this doubling occurs both on the '40 and '41. I just started collecting the series, so was curious on how many varieties I'd be hunting for. Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff

ksmcents Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 3:22 pm DV that's a much better picture than mine. Are there pictures somewhere of the difference between "double 1940/1941" and re-engraved? There seems to be some discrepancy between the 2. PCGS recognizes the 1940 and ICCS the 1941 as "Double Date". I apologize for my ignorance but the few threads I've read the conclusion seems to be "skeptical" with the attributions. Forgive me, I am just particular, which is sometimes a strength, mostly a weakness or vice versa. Quote: Skeptical is good. And certainly I need to find a definitive argument behind the attribution as RE--or not. In the meantime--without being that definitive--I will do a little analysis of my particular coin, and how these details support MD or re-engraving. - DVCollector What were the results?

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 4:05 pm Ksmcents--wow, I think you found an old conversation I had with someone who contended the 1940 RE was ' Machine Doubling'. I never thought it was Machine Doubling myself; I only suggested the coins should speak for themselves. Now, if this was machine doubling--and not on the die--it should vary a lot between coins. However, I have since found a nice picture of a mint-state, certified 1940 RE to compare to mine. As you can see, the re-engraving is an exact match--which can only mean this is the same, re-engraved die. Regarding your coin pictured above--the "4" sure looks similar, but I'm uncertain for the other digits--although I'm leaning that way. Perhaps my pictures will suffice as a diagnostic. If your coin is the RE and it's MS...it's a high value coin! Edited by DVCollector 07/13/2013 4:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ksmcents Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 5:00 pm That's awesome DV! Thank you! It's identical to the pics you provided! With the notches in the N's as well. Mine won't reach MS. It's been wiped/rubbed and has some hairlines on the reverse, but it still has great details. I cherry picked this out of a junk bin at an antique shop for $1.00. I figured I couldn't go wrong. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff
