Hi - I don't see any doubling. Where are you seeing it?
I will gladly take another look.

I see it. It looks like Mechanical Doubling to me, see how it makes the devices look narrower? A doubled die will make the devices wider. |

I'm new to collecting, well I've always collected silver coin an anything I was aware of. I'm trying to learn the differences in the errors that I might find. I found this one today an have read other topics about doubling an I thought maybe double maybe machine error. So if the "double" is flat an narrower its probably machine error an if it's fat an bubbled up its a true double rite? Even so, wouldn't that still be an error?

Well, it is an error, like a mistake, more like damaged by equipment at the mint. A doubled die coin is created by a die that has a doubled image on it, so that every coin made with that die has the same doubling. Doubled dies are considered collectable varieties, not errors. Although many coin dealers refer to them as errors and even people who collect doubled dies will consider themselves error collectors. Maybe someone else can explain it better but Mechanical Doubling does not add any value to the coin. |

You are right with machine damage, note how it shelf like and reduces the size of the devices. This image by coop really helps explain  |

I wouldn't call it damage, since it doesn't really damage the coin.

It isn't damage to the coin but to the devices, it is an error, just very common, but its called damage

It is the devices that are damaged after the strike. The machine did this when the loose dies moved a bit. I refer to it as machine damage, because as you will note, those devices are damaged. (reduced in size) At the base of these devices the normal strike shows, but the bounce of the die after the strike damaged the upper part of the devices.  |
