Shale Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 8:20 pm Is this an example of Machine Doubling? Im keeping it aside as unique for me, but assuming it is not normally collectible. Thanks! new microscope has opened up a world to me :) anything else I should be looking out for? Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 8:24 pm I like this for Machine Doubling. It's also going to be a great baseline coin for you to learn the ins and outs of your new toy. Report this Post to the Staff
Shale Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 8:40 pm Found another one, also S mint, this one is smeared the other direction. so 2 out of 30, must not be too rare :) Edited by Shale 01/06/2015 8:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 8:54 pm Keep these in mind for the future. We discuss Machine Doubling frequently, and these images would be a quality addition to the conversation. Report this Post to the Staff
Shale Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 8:56 pm Will do, these are permalinked on my own host, so they will be around for a long time. Report this Post to the Staff
Shale Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 9:31 pm Found 3 more, top one a strong example and on a AU coin. Edited by Shale 01/06/2015 9:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 11:01 pm The top image is fantastic. Perfect shelving. Report this Post to the Staff
Shale Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 11:20 pm Freehand at this zoom level is tough, got another angle of the shelving on that one to show how thin the bottom strike is... that gives the further example of Machine Doubling vs die doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 11:32 pm Flip it to monochrome if it gets tough - buys you a little contrast and therefore perceived sharpness. Report this Post to the Staff
