coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/21/2016 10:52 am If it were a double 5. it would be raised on the coin. The surface looks flat from what I can see? What am I missing that you see? Report this Post to the Staff

Hello There Pillar of the Community United States 1191 Posts	Posted 12/21/2016 11:59 am There is an extra bar below the original one. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 12/21/2016 3:12 pm Sorry, HT, I'm not seeing the double bar, either, other than the slightest bit of a shelf-like protrusion, which would make it MD. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/21/2016 6:40 pm On the devices side facing the rim, it is die wear/deterioration. Not a hub issue. If it were hub doubling it would be on all the date devices, not just one. Movement of the hub is rotated a bit. On this one it is not so strong on the date, but look at the motto. You can see stronger doubling there. Report this Post to the Staff
Hello There Pillar of the Community United States 1191 Posts	Posted 12/21/2016 6:52 pm So it is not the double bar? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/22/2016 2:56 pm The last image shows a little something going on in it, but I can tell if it is flat or rounded at the tops of the '56'. It is flat just beyond the device, then it is Machine damage on that area. But a better image might show me more either way. Report this Post to the Staff
Hello There Pillar of the Community United States 1191 Posts	Posted 12/23/2016 03:03 am I'll take another picture tomorrow. I am starting to lose hope on that coin. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/23/2016 1:53 pm I've seen that before on a coin I once had. It was Machine damaged. When I was new at collecting, I felt the way you did. If it were hub doubled, it would be raised, and not flat like MD shows. Report this Post to the Staff
Hello There Pillar of the Community United States 1191 Posts	Posted 12/23/2016 3:34 pm The more I look at it, the more I see that it is a Machine Doubling. Thanks coop! Report this Post to the Staff
