Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 09/22/2015 10:58 pm The 2nd stamp looks rounded like a DD. This coin is a proof though isn't it. Seems many proofs look like this and have been noted as MD. However, this coin is so new yet there is nothing to compare it to. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/23/2015 9:24 pm Do you have a normal on to take an image of and size to the same pixels as your image. Not familiar with how this coins devices should look like. Report this Post to the Staff
Agrippa Pillar of the Community United States 663 Posts	Posted 09/23/2015 9:49 pm I'm sure this is absolutely no help, but the "K" looks like DD and the "E" definitely looks like MD to me. Report this Post to the Staff

SjlundCoin Pillar of the Community United States 534 Posts	Posted 09/23/2015 10:44 pm Tried to throw together a quick comparison if it helps any. Regular coin device. Possible DD? (OP's coin) Edited by SjlundCoin 09/23/2015 10:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 09/23/2015 11:31 pm Devices seem to look smaller so I would say md. You should be looking for seperation of serrifs. If it were a DD and it had that much seperation in the middle of the device the one of the ends would definitely be seperated Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/23/2015 11:44 pm Die Deterioration would be on the opposite side of the devices. (in the direction of the rim the outsides of the devices) Hub doubling would enlarge the overall size. (Looks like the same overall size of devices) Looks like Machine damage reduced the size. So it is MD. Report this Post to the Staff
SjlundCoin Pillar of the Community United States 534 Posts	Posted 09/24/2015 12:19 am I have the same coin as the OP and I thought I saw some splitting in the letters...Is that caused by MD also? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/24/2015 12:27 am I guess you would need to put three devices in an image in a row and make a Side by Side and see if they are larger or normal overall shaped. (Posting just one device in an image doesn't give us the correct definition of size) When we enlarge one device in a large image, nothing can still look liked something. (I usually put 3 or more devices per image to keep it more in perspective) Some times I can see something in my scope (3.5X-35X infinite zoom) that can't be found in a photo. Then I know it is too minor to be a collectable. But if it were hub doubling, several devices should be affected nearby. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 09/24/2015 5:59 pm If daviscfad could take a pic of a normal one and his doubled one in the same setting & at the same time with the same setup, then overlaying the pics would tell if the devices have been made smaller or not. Sometimes even a slightly more angled picture can make devices look off in size/thickness. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

daviscfad Pillar of the Community United States 4541 Posts	Posted 09/26/2015 1:29 pm I am leaning more towards Machine Doubling.. To me the new style of hub doubling strangely resembles MD so for me its tuff to tell Report this Post to the Staff
