nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15450 Posts	Posted 09/21/2014 8:46 pm Scott ... to the CCF. I believe you will be told from the experts (on their way) ... this is machine Strike Doubling and not an error. Nice photos BTW ... hopeful that you stick around and contribute more examples.

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 09/21/2014 9:08 pm I agree with nickelsearcher, it's still a pretty major example of MD, but MD nonetheless. you can help identify MD versus a Doubled die by trying to look at the non doubled area, if it looks thinner than normal, it's MD Report this Post to the Staff

todaysits New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 09/21/2014 9:41 pm Thanks for the input guys much appreciated. I'm new to this so wasn't even sure what Machine Doubling was. Now after some googling, I see I have much more to learn. Report this Post to the Staff
todaysits New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 09/21/2014 9:43 pm Is it at least a "proof" coin? :) Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 09/21/2014 9:47 pm Looks like a business strike to me. In the 60s, Lincoln had a deeper, cameo-like appearance. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/23/2014 11:36 am A proof coin is made a proof. When circulated it is an impaired proof with a lower grade. PR-53 A business strike coin is a coin made for circulation with grading according to coin wear. The look is quite different when view side by side. Report this Post to the Staff
