1972 S Cent Date Is Doubled Died? And 1971 D Kennedy Half

No, just MD ( Machine Doubling). No extra value. Here's what a real DDO should look like vs MD. All of the credit goes to Coop for the picture.

Your welcome. Keep an eye out there though because they are out there. I am excited about the coin you will be posting in the next couple minutes. :)

Haha Mark! I didn't notice that until now.

Just wait'll El Cheepo decides to auto correct with "Doubled deed"...I guess that's the past plu-perfect tense oof "died".

That's a interesting Clipped Planchet you got there.

ive never seen an edge where the brown alloy jumps from obverse side to reverse side

Correct. Note the devices are reduced in size from a normal set of devices. Usually you can tell this better on devices that curve. Like the 'D' on your image.The flattened area (MD) on that device shows the over all correct size of the device. On the areas flattened, you can see the reduction of the device turning it into one color on those areas. It is all one color on the affected areas, because the contour of the device is now missing. Where it would normally show a light to darkness shad color, it now shows as a flattened/reduced area that is all now just one color. That is how you can tell it is MD. Again on the image above, the doubled die the image on the right shows two sets of contour on that device.

The stronger the spread of the hub doubling, the more distance between the two hubbings that are noticed on doubled dies. The die is doubled, not reduced during the strike like you find on machine damaged strikes:




Machine Doubling on the same device just alters the normal sized devices by reducing them:
