coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/16/2016 5:00 pm Notice on the overall shape of the devices, they are reduced by the machine damage during the strike? Hub doubling enlarges the devices, MD reduces them. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 03/16/2016 5:09 pm Hey Renee, I feel the same way. I have been in this hobby for about 4 months now and I still can't figure it out. These people here on the forum have been very patient with me and they really are supportive. Just keep trying and look at as many of these posts as you can, they have really helped me learn in many areas. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/16/2016 9:13 pm Renee, look at the two S's in STATES. The second one is almost unaffected and shows you the correct normal size. The first on is skinnier towards the upper half. The first S is reduced by the worthless doubling. What you want is one the normal size with rounded doubling. Report this Post to the Staff

This place is a unique coalition; there are many knowledgeable people here. There are a lot more people that are not here. For the short time you have been here, you know a lot more than most people.
