coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/17/2015 6:48 pm Not sure what you are seeing on the LIBERTY? But a hub doubled die will enlarge the devices: This is kind of minor, but note the arrows: Or stronger examples: Here is a side by side with the single squeeze hubbing (Note how the hubbing enlarges the size of the devices) But not to be confused with machine damage to the devices (die movement during the strike from a normal die) Note how the devices are damaged after the strike, reducing the size of them? A lot of people have a hard time with I dentifying this type of "so called" doubling. More of the same thing, but in different directions. But still Machine damaged devices.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 02/17/2015 8:10 pm I think the B looks funny, too. I hate to ask, because I know how hard it can be, but can you get a close-up with less glare? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/17/2015 11:59 pm A better image might show us more. So you see the size of images we need to tell for sure. I like them in the 600-1000 pixel width range. The 1000 can be enlarged to see even more detail. So when you get more images like I posted, add them to this thread and we can continue the discussion. Looking forward to seeing what you are seeing. Glare can be removed with something as simple as a piece of grocery bag to diffuse the light. It your light is too strong, it can be diffused with a sheet or two images of computer paper. That is some of the things I use. Depending on what you are using, it can vary. But light/shadows make a great image. Too much light or too little light can be hard to see what you are seeing. Here is an image that I edited to get the light/color/sharpness just right. The image taker did a good basic job: Note light and darkness just right. light/shadows/a little editing and we now have a great picture. Report this Post to the Staff

Snatched Valued Member United States 106 Posts	Posted 02/18/2015 12:05 am It looks doubled but I guess not. I'm still a rookie here Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/18/2015 12:22 am When you see the area on the outside edge of LIBERTY affected, it is die wear/deterioration. The date shows wear to the rim to the right. Liberty show wear to the left. The motto toward the rim. That is what you are seeing on your coin. Note on your coin the right side of LIBERTY is strong, the left side of LIBERTY shows the die wear/deterioration and being weak on that side. Report this Post to the Staff
Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 02/18/2015 12:29 am The B certainly did look backwars in that first pic(don't know how that could be tho) but in the second pic it does not look backwards.... Report this Post to the Staff

Snatched Valued Member United States 106 Posts	Posted 02/18/2015 12:34 am On liberty it shows more faded/deteriorated on the right. It looks better facing the rim Report this Post to the Staff
Snatched Valued Member United States 106 Posts	Posted 02/18/2015 12:36 am The picture you have shown coop shows the shadow/fade/deteriorate opposite of my picture. Report this Post to the Staff
tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 02/18/2015 01:13 am It looks like Die Deterioration I just learning about how hard these DDO's are to find a legitimate one I have found tons of Machine Doubling . Finally I can look and at most of them quickly toss to the side knowing full well its Machine Doubling or Die Deterioration. This one I agree with coop on :) Report this Post to the Staff
