Hey Stoneman. I just started out trying to define various "doublings" so they could be discerned in regards to identifying DD's. I lumped them together because die wear and Strike Doubling fall under the category of MD. I searched everything before I made this post. I'm a little wary now though, because I'm finding out much of it varies with the experts.

You have made some good points in regards to the movement of the machine parts and or the planchet at the time of the strike which can create a coin like no other.

Thank you for that Stoneman, coming from a man with your knowledge it means a lot to me and it's also good that we agree on it. Some of the "like no other coins" made in that fashion are very nice.

This coin like no other is one of the points that separates Die Deterioration, or as you say , wear on the die from Machine Doubling. As a die deteriorates it developes characteristics that that will be repeated in every coin struck till the die progressively changes enough to notice a difference in the coins.
The difference
MDing will be different coin to coin
Die Deterioration doudling will be the same on many coins

I agree with all of this, except I think Die Deterioration is a form of MD. Thanks for the input.
Gotcha Oldmike. I have found now that some of the pros subscribe to that and others to slide doubling. All of them can change their minds too. lol I reckon none of it has been proven, that would be too easy. Thanks for the input.
I guess all and all we know what we know, and that's good enough to know what we like.
Here's a couple nice one's of the variety referenced in Stoneman's reply.
