OrDirtDevil Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 01/16/2008 03:47 am Found this tonight in a batch of wheats I been going threw. Nothing else seems to be effected but the date. No dbling on anything else I can see. Is it Mechanical Doubling? Image: 1972-Dbldate.jpg 66.23 KB Report this Post to the Staff

j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 01/16/2008 06:01 am It looks like Machine Doubling to me...note that the spine of the "2" is only partially doubled. Would/Can you post a picture that shows the entire date? Thanks, Jim Report this Post to the Staff
Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 01/16/2008 10:13 am ODD, I would say MD. As an adjunct, I have just finished going thru over 5100 1972s. The apparent doubling in the inside the the loop in the "2" is on the vast majority, so makes me think it must be master die doubling, or maybe a die break. At any rate, it is there on a lot of them.

Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 01/16/2008 12:31 pm Die deteriation would cause more of a mushy, washed appearance. The doubling is very distinct on this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 01/17/2008 4:13 pm Machine doubling. No question at all on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
MountainXBGL Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 01/17/2008 4:25 pm The reason I was guessing die deteriation was mainly because of the "2". The backside and the bottom right where the "doubling" isn't continous. But, as I have said time and time again....don't pay attention to me, I'm just the resident rookie.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/17/2008 5:08 pm Nice example and a nice image too...but definitely Machine Doubling with no premium value. Report this Post to the Staff
livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 01/18/2008 3:11 pm Machine doubling, and on the upper slant on the "2", looks like it took a hit. nice Photos. Dick Report this Post to the Staff
