Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 04/14/2016 4:16 pm This looks remarkably like MD to me...except it also looks like MD on the coppercoins image (used with permission). Markers on the coppercoins example are insignificant, except at the bottom of the bust, which appears to be on my coin. Seperation lines on the example do not show on my coin (wear? or just not there?) Thoughts? Do I remember something about prevalent MD on the 62 Cents? Report this Post to the Staff

Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 04/14/2016 4:25 pm Sorry Pete2226, IMHO it is just common Machine Doubling and not desirable hub doubling. The devices are reduced and the doubling is shelf-like. Looks cool though. Edited by Sudz 04/14/2016 4:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 04/14/2016 4:31 pm By the time I finished my photos and writing my comments, I had convinced myself it was MD! I guess that I just needed to talk it through. Thanks for listening Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 04/14/2016 9:30 pm Along with the flat shelf and device reduction, watch the direction that's facing the rim and when also present on the bust I would suspect MD. Found its best to double check against known varieties anyways, because some DD can show similar traits, but not this time at least against the 1DO-001. If you check 1DO-020 is a good example that seems to face the rim. But you see its not flat like and shows definite separation. The reverse devices are beginning to merge with fields indicating die wear. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/14/2016 10:27 pm On the side by side of the dates, notice the spread on the hubbing of the DDO? It is wider and taller than the normal coin with machine damage. Report this Post to the Staff
