Can anyone give me some insight as to what type of error this is, and whether or not a coin like this is of any value? I can't seem to find any information on this one. Thanks!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/20/2014 11:20 am Most of the time the doubling on the outside profile of the bust is just machine damage. There is an example I did find where the doubling is a doubled die. But note in the image. You can see the doubling is rounded and not flat: Note on the cent image on the last side by side. It is flat shelf like doubling like your coin. So yours is the machine damaged examples that are not a doubled die. Added a new image to my library of machine damage how it affects the bust.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/20/2014 2:25 pm Well is was a long time coming to get the right coin's images to show what I've been saying all along. I'm still looking for some better images of the Machine Doubling. I used John1's image, but the format was not working with my photoshop program. So I had to take an image from the screen with a camera. Still looking for a nice clear shot with a JPG image to redo the side by side image. Maybe John1 can re-format his image?

tarzip86 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 12/20/2014 4:00 pm Wow Thank you for all of the detailed explanations. I would like to show you a better image of the coin. Please, if you can, explain how I can upload a better image without exceeding the limits of this forum. My initial image was too large and I had to crop it down. Report this Post to the Staff
