Hello,

This is my first time posting. I was searching through a cent roll and stumbled upon an interesting coin from 1992. I have probably seen thousands of 1992 cents with Machine Doubling, but this really doesn't look like MD to my admittedly untrained eye. The secondary outline is raised and detailed - not fuzzy at all. Thanks in advance for any input.

tyme!

I agree with John; looks MD to me. I think I see some movement in the Y in LIBERTY which would suggest movement. Some additional closer pic's might help the experts out when they show up. Perhaps of LIBERTY and the date.

Hope these help. Looks like there is some movement on some of the later letters of Liberty. Oh well, even if it isn't a rare variety, it is the coolest MD I have come across so far. Again, I appreciate all of the responses. E

Hi Tyme - yes, the devices look like they shifted during he strike. This specimen is a significant example (extreme) of MD. I would put that one in a flip for future viewing. I have a 1972 with decent MD that I kept - not near the movement you are seeing. I see folks on ebay selling strong examples of MD (usually nickels) and I guess some are collecting a small premium. But I keep to look at and perhaps you do to. If you do a Search you should be able to find images by Coop that illustrate the various types of MD. Some are straightforward and easy to establish. Some really look like DD especially in a 2D state. We had a 1995 LMC here not too long ago that had us holding our collective breath for a few days until it was confirmed MD. That was a significant MD specimen as well.

Looks like machine damage on your coin. The letters on LIBERTY are flat and shelf like on the "TY". When you see doubling on the outside edge of the bust/Memorial it is usually always machine damaged. The die movement during the stike damages the devices on one area, larger area or even on both sides it can be seen. But it is common to find machine damaged coins in circulation. They usually trick us for a long time until we figure out how they are created. Here is a teaching age I've put together:

Most refer to it as Machine Doubling, but I call it what it is, machine damaged. The flat shelf like, step down look is really damaged.
