billdollar New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 09/15/2015 5:12 pm I am new at this and was wondering if someone could tell me if this coin is a die shift or double die. And if it is an error coin if it's of any value, well at least more than face value.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 09/15/2015 6:09 pm The second pic shows Mechanical Doubling which is common and not considered an error. I don't know what's going on in the first pic. Can you get a clearer image of that? It does not appear to be the usual worthless Mechanical Doubling. Also, can you post a pic of the whole coin/ Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/15/2015 7:25 pm Machine damage during the strike. These devices are normal overall shape, but with MD on them. If it were hub doubling we would see enlargement of the devices. Report this Post to the Staff

tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 09/15/2015 8:32 pm Yes it is Mechanical Doubling a.k.a machine damage. Not worth anything and common on 70 ' s halves. Like coop said I don't see enlargement of devices or split serrifs. Good eye though keep looking. Report this Post to the Staff
