coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/26/2015 9:34 pm The doubling you see is actually machine damage to those devices. It is not doubling but it reduces the devices. Kind of like this coin: Note how the devices are damaged from the die movement during the strike. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 07/26/2015 9:39 pm Very nice photos. What you're seeing on the reverse is Mechanical Doubling, sometimes called machine doubled or Strike Doubling. On a true doubled die cent, the devices will appear wider, not narrower, and they are raised and rounded. If you look closely, you will see the secondary image on your coin is flat and square looking. Many times MD will be in all directions, sometimes just on one side.
