Thank you CoinMasters. So basically you would have to see see it raised fully around the device rather than just a small portion In different areas? Sorry, It might take me awhile to get the hang of this  |

On MD, it reduces the size of the devices in certain areas. It is actually damage to the device. They come from normal dies but the die movement reduces the devices:   |

SA,if you have a letter on a coin it will be the same size as the same letter on another coin provided they were struck by the same die. If on striking another coin, that same die moves more than it should, it produces a letter on the coin with the same overall size, but damaged. It appears "doubled", but because it is the same overall size, you can realize it is only "damaged". This is called MD (Machine Damage or Machine Doubling). This occurs frequently and is worthless. On the other hand, some dies were made with doubled letters and impart them on coins. These coins are called Doubled Dies. These doubled letters are larger overall. This happens less frequently than MD and entails value. There are other forms of doubling, but for now learn this and you will be well on your way. |
