WheatBackPenny Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 09/19/2017 5:04 pm This is just Machine Doubling, not a double die, sorry. I would still keep it though, because it is a very strong example of MD (as well as being a Wheat cent). Edited by WheatBackPenny 09/19/2017 5:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/19/2017 10:04 pm Whenever you see the shelf-like effect in same direction on dates AND mintmarks it ain't a DDO/RPM, cannot be, MM are placed on dies by hand, no way to math a hub doubled effect. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 09/20/2017 10:09 am Both date and MM seems to be machine damage in this case. Wanted to mention machine damage and or Die Deterioration does not discriminate and can be present on a true doubled die or RPM. I would like to add that 99% of the time, strike damage showing in the same direction on the date and a hand punched MM is a good indicator its not true hub doubling or RPM. I like to leave at least one percent open to the possibility the combination of events can be present. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 09/20/2017 5:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74624 Posts	Posted 09/20/2017 5:48 pm MD, but one of the cooler ones. Not a DDO, but you can compare it to a real DDO. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74624 Posts	Posted 09/20/2017 6:16 pm So you can know the difference between MD and real/true Doubled Dies. It would make a great learning piece. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
