*** Edited by Staff to remove YELLING. All capital letters is the internet version of yelling. Please don't do it in titles or posts. *** Strike Doubling (also referred to as Machine Doubling or Mechanical Doubling) can be a difficult topic, so I thought I would post some cases and let people have some fun with these. The objective is to guess whether the coin displays real doubling or strike (machine, Mechanical Doubling) I will post an example every couple of days.  Edited by canadian-varieties

MD. I have examples of the 1919 that have just a little of the C "doubled" and continue until ALL of the letters are involved, including the date being "doubled". There are all gradients of the offset being visible further and further to the right of the word, as the die got looser and looser. If you look up a little higher, you'll see that the C in Cent has the same "doubling". The one that I have with the date (the 9's) showing "doubling" inside right & top of the loop, is the only one that I have ever seen ... and I posted photos of it 7-8 years ago and had all the variety folks looking for others. Yours appears to have a little offset inside left & top.

Again, MD but the die has shifted in a different direction than the first one. The "shadow" image on MD's is from the instant that the die comes up off the planchet and "slides" or rotates or moves a bit and, for a fraction of a second, the dies are not exactly parallel to each other.

Jack never had a rarity rating over 8 .. that was as good as it got for him. I think that a "10" was 1-3 known, 9 a few more, then 8. But Jack's guide was a "date spacing guide", not a true variety guide. He laid out the whole book, in order, by the spacing or the digits in the date, then the font or size ... with everything else just mentioned in passing, such as repunching.
