SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/03/2015 10:45 am Are you sure this is Machine Doubling? I see clear notching and no subtraction from the stroke of the letters. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/03/2015 11:07 am These devices are incuse. When the die move on incuse devices, it enlarges them. So the doubled dies are reduced on incuse devices. Raised devices on doubled die: Incuse devices on doubled die: Hub doubling shows up opposite on raised and incuse devices.

Waxemm Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 04/03/2015 11:13 am Yes, I am sure. On the incuse designs the bouncing of the die can land pretty much anywhere, and leave the imprint smaller. Wexler explains it better than I can. http://doubleddie.com/144822.html Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/03/2015 11:22 am OK, thank you both for my lesson for the day. That's extremely cool, a radical but logical transformation of the process with incuse design elements. Another interesting feature is how the two doubled spots appear to have rotated in different directions. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/03/2015 12:27 pm The same way dies move during the strike that give the reduction of machine damage, just opposite. The devices on the die are raised, leaving incuse design on the coins. Report this Post to the Staff
