coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/04/2014 01:17 am I had hope for this in a few images. But the last ones were the tell tale on this one. It is machine damaged. On each device the overall size of the devices are reduced from the machine damage. Sorry Report this Post to the Staff
amnight Valued Member United States 332 Posts	Posted 07/04/2014 2:18 pm Thanks for the help! I have a question about the doubling I am hoping someone can answer: Is it possible for a coin to have some Machine Doubling and also DDO features? The only reason I ask is because I see flat field doubling on some devices like you guys have said, but I also see some devices with extra rounded features that I thought would make it a DDO. Also, does the fact that it is from the San Francisco mint mean anything? I ask this because I don't know if they have a different way of minting coins. Do they press the coins more than once and is this result? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/04/2014 6:28 pm The 1968-S and forward proof coins can have flat field doubling on them as they are struck at least twice. The second strike can damage a coin or create the flat field doubling. Here is an example of a different year, but shows it nicely: This one is a doubled die and also has flat field doubling. Note the different colored arrows. Business strike coins can have a doubled die and also suffer machine damage on the devices. Here is a classic example: Note the lower image that shows both. On your coin the reduction of the devices give this one away as machine damage. The strongest letters in the last images are where the die moved the most, the first images are where the die moved the least. If this were hub doubling the devices would be enlarged. They get your heart a going, but not hub doubled. Report this Post to the Staff
