WheatBackPenny Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 06/13/2017 6:52 pm I think the doubling on the memorial is Machine Doubling, but I have no clue what could have caused the double head. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 06/13/2017 6:55 pm Its the pox! Quarantine yourself IMMEDIATLY! Well, at least wash your hands, boy! Yea, called plating bubbles. Air/other materials gets trapped under the thin copper plating, causing zinc planchet core to "rot". Sometimes you'll notice "split-plating" where around the digits/letters you'll see a bluish mark, that's it. It allows the zinc rot to enter and begin. Now, double image is MD, Machine Doubling, seen on thin copper coated zincs. Not only by strike itself, but the factors of high speed machine vibration and heat build-up, factor in causing a "ghosting" effect as seen here.

Cory865 Valued Member United States 249 Posts	Posted 06/13/2017 7:37 pm Well I learned something today. What about the multible Lincolns on the reverse? Also "AMERICA" looks doubled as well, or whats that called if it isn't? Regardless, thank you all for the quick responses an passed down knowledge. Maybe next time... Report this Post to the Staff
