coinfox1 Valued Member United States 323 Posts	Posted 07/21/2017 12:56 am Hello. Found this one while searching tonight. Appears to have some doubling in date. It was very difficult to take good pics. Shows up much better in hand with loop. Can actually see it in "9" and "0" too better in hand with loop. Your thoughts? Or is it Machine Doubling? Thanks for looking! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 07/21/2017 01:10 am Yep, it is MD. The mintmark is a giveaway for being doubled as well in the same direction. For this year (and every year before 1990), a doubled die cent would not have a matching doubled MM. Keep searching!

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 07/21/2017 02:08 am I didn't have time before but, notice the lack of corresponding doubling of the MM on this example of a Doubled Die (courtesy PCGS): In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 07/22/2017 2:35 pm Be aware that some of the information provide in this post by others is inaccurate. You can have Strike Doubling (MD) shifted in the same direction as hub doubling (doubled die) and some doubled dies such as the 1969-S DDO-001 are known to come with Strike Doubling. However the 1940-D is Strike Doubling aka Machine Doubling. You need to learn the difference or you could end up passing on a genuine doubled die that also has Strike Doubling.

I apologize for simplifying my response. I will rephrase it: For this year (and every year before 1990), a doubled die cent is unlikely to have a matching doubled MM. However, realize that multiple forms of "doubling" can be combined on a single coin. Always learning!
