BillbertGilbert New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 02/04/2017 11:20 am Hi, I've searched on here, NGC, shieldnickels.net and Google but can't find any info or similar varieties, and am wondering if maybe it's not a DDO or just unlisted. Any info would be awesome. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

BillbertGilbert New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 02/04/2017 1:12 pm I have, and that's why I made this post plus added pics. I'm not sure if it's Machine Doubling or doubled die. It's strongest at the date, going clockwise gets weaker. I guess I assume Machine Doubling wouldn't do that. So are you saying you think it's machine? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/04/2017 3:11 pm I think it is MD. Give it a bit for a few pros to chime in. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

What I'm seeing on your coin looks like Machine Doubling Damage (MDD) Report this Post to the Staff
Biker Coin Guy Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 02/06/2017 12:08 am If it is a true DDO, it's most likely an FS-010 from what I can tell. It's listed in the Cherrypicker's Guide, and here is a link to PCGS's Coin Facts photo: http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/38399 Report this Post to the Staff
