I believe those are Machine Doubling, since the devices are reduced and shelf-like. |

I think I see flat field doubling too. If that's MD on the obverse, that's some crazy MD. I don't think I've ever seen one obliterating half of a letter's thickness.

Note the shift in the beads in Regina is right and Elizabeth are left.

I see a downward shift. It looks left/right because it shifts downwards. It cuts the beads of the coin more on its inside on the lower beads. I don't know if I'm making sense here... I'll try making a diagram.

It looks like it was stuck once then shifted slightly and was then struck again. Interesting

I have the same coin. Flat field doubling one direction (offset to the south) and Machine Doubling in the opposite direction (offset to the north)... the only thing I can imagine is that this coin was struck twice?

Could we see the full coin both sides if you get a chance?
I think its always important to show the entire coin to get a better perspective.

I think I'm going to tag this Dollar as Double Struck In Collar. I would agree with that... probably double struck, in collar, with Machine Doubling on both strikes. The second strike probably flattened the first strike's Machine Doubling, creating the flat field doubling effect. Thanks for sharing, mine is just as dramatic as yours, and I am happy to see another one out there!!
