djay1 Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 12/10/2016 07:22 am I don't see Machine Doubling. I see extra thickness and notching. Maybe WDDO-007? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/10/2016 08:47 am On the right sides of LIBERTY you can see the reduction of the devices after the coin was struck. If it were hub doubling with notching, the devices would be enlarged. The notching is from an overlap of the hubbing process. Leaving the device enlarged because of doubled devices. Here is an example of machine damage probably caused during ejection that damaged the tops of some devices, and not damaging others. Note compared with a normal coin, the devices are the same size, but the MD makes a mark on some devices and on the right side of the MD get stronger, like on your coin. Hub doubling should enlarge the devices, because the notching is caused from a double set of devices by the hub: Note how the spread between the hub process left the devices notched, making them wider. Note the spread on this one between the two hubbing that enlarged the devices. Here is how LIBERTY would be enlarged, without notching showing a wider device. 2014 cent. So while it can look like notching, unless there is a spread included, it may not be a doubled die. On your coin it looks similar to the the 'ejection doubled' on just a few devices. the devices will all be affected similar on a doubled die. On MD than can vary just like they did in the side by side I posted. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/10/2016 08:53 am But taking a second look at your coin, focus on the bottom of the devices. That looks more like a doubled die, than the tops of those images. Try taking other images on that area. Getting more devices if possible in the same image. I noticed on the third image you posted, the bottoms look like other doubled dies I've seen. So you may have an example that on the tops of the devices it is MD, and on the bottoms of devices it is a doubled die. (good thing I took a second look) Similar to this die: http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds Report this Post to the Staff
Duffalluff New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 12/10/2016 11:41 am The top is a reflection from the light source (flashlight) horizontally, pointing down the coin. I'll try to take some better pictures when I'm done working. Thanks for all the replies! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/10/2016 11:43 am Sometimes we get used to think above the LIBERTY and forget the bottom of LIBERTY can be affected as well. If I hadn't taken a second look I would have probably missed that, because the interest was all about the top of the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
Duffalluff New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 12/10/2016 9:59 pm Okay, here are a couple more pics, I think this is as good as I can get it. Report this Post to the Staff
Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 12/10/2016 10:26 pm IMO this coin is a hub doubled die. There is distortion and notching. Even though there is MD, I can see that this is a doubled die Report this Post to the Staff
