I know some people erroneously mistake Mechanical Doubling for a double die, but I'm talking about coins that you know have Mechanical Doubling, and not a double die. Is a coin with Mechanical Doubling worth less than a coin without doubling? Report this Post to the Staff

On pocket change, it wont affect the value at all unless extremely dramatic. Edited by Adam_E 09/22/2014 12:17 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/23/2014 10:56 am I have a coin that the reverse is 1/2 of each. Left side machine damaged, right side a nice DDR. It lessons value to me. If I were buy a variety, I would probably not consider a MD example because I use them for images and to have both in the same image would be distracting.
