E and A New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 08/02/2013 5:15 pm If I can ask, what sets Machine Doubling apart from the other types and how do you tell? Report this Post to the Staff
E and A New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 08/02/2013 5:17 pm Oh and the 1st T in TRUST. That bit of extra metal that makes it look like a J. What is that called? Here are some close ups of that crazy T. It's a raised spot not a dent. Edited by E and A 08/02/2013 6:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 08/02/2013 5:45 pm I would say "T" took a hit so it is PMD. I can't quite tell if the date is showing MD or Die Deterioration Doubling. Either way it is only worth $.01. to the forum...Good Luck and Happy Hunting! Report this Post to the Staff
coinaki Valued Member United States 207 Posts	Posted 08/02/2013 7:03 pm Most likely Die Deterioration Doubling. http://error-ref.com/die-deteriorat...oubling.html As for the "T", it could be a gas bubble; use a toothpick and see if you can puncture it. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/03/2013 3:30 pm It is a gas bubble under the plating or a minute die dent. The date is die dterioration doubling. All are common. When I started collecting, I found stuff like this and put it away in a 20 coin 2X2 pages and had two 3 ring binders of stuff I saved. Later on now, I realize I spent 5 cents for the 2X2's on a coin that is worth one cent. I guess you get smarter when you advance in knowledge. Report this Post to the Staff
albertharris Pillar of the Community United States 901 Posts	Posted 08/03/2013 3:53 pm Die Deterioration Doubling. Modern pennies yuck! Report this Post to the Staff
E and A New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 08/04/2013 1:20 pm um yeah thats why we're posting here to advance in knowledge, thanks for the input, but how are you guys coming to the conclusion of Die Deterioration rather than some other form of Mechanical Doubling?

DavidFNYC Valued Member United States 95 Posts	Posted 08/04/2013 1:33 pm I think it's early stage Die Deterioration from the pictures, it's certainly some kind of Machine Doubling Report this Post to the Staff
E and A New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 08/04/2013 2:48 pm Thank you all! Trying to work out this process. ok, so it has the shelf like look not rounded or split serifs, so certainly not double died. Out of the posts we've done this one is getting the Die Deterioration verdict. Trying to understand what about this one is screaming this to everyone. How do we get from the planchet jiggled to the die is wearing out? Report this Post to the Staff
