koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 07/31/2015 1:39 pm This is a typical example of Die Deterioration Doubling for that year. I wrote about it in November 1999 here: http://www.pcgs.com/News/Die-Deteri...ommon-Part-1 And here: http://www.pcgs.com/News/Die-Deteri...age-Ipart-2i Many examples are extreme with a lot of flatness as seen on your coin.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/28/2019 2:47 pm The biggest difference between Machine Doubling and a doubled die is the size of the devices. On a MD example, the devices are reduced in size. On a doubled die the devices are enlarged. So the devices will fit into the three the ranges. Normal, reduced or enlarged. Reduction is an event that the machine causes after a strike. (whether normal or a doubled die) On a doubled die, the doubling is on the die and enlarges the size of the devices. On this example the devices are normal size, with a reduction of MD. So it is not a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff
