SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 5:10 pm I have posted this coin in the past. I got a new macro lens for the phone camera. See the pictures of obverse Machine Doubling. The beads, Queen's chin, neck, nose and brow ridge are chopped and doubled. All legends on the obverse are a mess. I really like this example of Machine Doubling. Any comments welcome. Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

pginrh Valued Member Canada 456 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 7:01 pm Looks like Flat Field Doubling.... fairly easy to find on the early years of the nickle dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 7:24 pm Thanks JimmyD and pginrh, I was thinking that flat field doubling had to have the first strike pushed down to the level of the field by the second strike. The step of the first strike is there. The detail on the letters in the legend is smaller as a result of the second strike shaving more off. I'm a rookie about what is happening in the collar. A vibration between strikes moves the die? Edit: Looking at the beads I see what you mean by flat field doubling. And many of the legend letters have a very small step from first strike. Bottom photo in particular. Thanks. Edited by SilverDon 02/05/2015 9:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 9:18 pm Yes thanks for that Pennyman007, it is very similar to mine. 47P7, I got the Leuchtturm Phonescope macro lens for smartphones, clip on and I use my wife's Samsung Galaxy S4.

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 9:22 pm Is this the PL one? Those beads are crazy. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 9:26 pm The 1969 is the PL one, yes Slurex97, I was using the loupe and VacouverIslandCoinsKid said try the clip on macro and it works like a charm. Up to 60x. What year is that one Pennyman007? Edited by SilverDon 02/05/2015 9:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 9:42 pm Thanks M_d_in_guy. Having fun with any and all error coins, it is good as a viewer to look closely if you suspect an error you can get up close. I am impressed with the cell phone with macro. Have posted a few die chips in the Photography post; https://goccf.com/t/195436 Edited by SilverDon 02/05/2015 9:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
