Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 12/08/2017 02:44 am Welcome to the "hit yo'head agin'da wall", "is it live or is it Memorex?" world of identifying MD( Machine Doubling). It is just that, MD. (check out Volume #1 below). When strikes happen, its like a hammer hitting a nail, it bounces a bit upon the nail...same with a coin press. Minute bounces happen causing a slighter second impression, through a slight shifting. This will reduce the size of the main impression, that is the key, size is ALWAYS reduced in MD.

Looking through coin rolls is starting to feel like a snipe hunt but I still enjoy it. The grocery is starting to get annoyed being asked for nickel rolls twice a week. I guess the next step is bank boxes. Report this Post to the Staff

Two50twostroke New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 06/19/2022 5:59 pm I know it has been over 4 years since you posted this link but hopefully you still have this nickel. Most likely it is not Machine Doubling and an actual DDR. I have seen around 4 different nickels with the exact same doubling. Unfortunately the answer to every question about if it is a doubled die gets the same two answers on every forum on the internet. It's post mint damage or it is Machine Doubling. I asked a a group for verification on a 1939 nickel with the "S" in TRUST that had a split serif if they thought it was a DDO and I got the standard Machine Doubling answer. I have looked at 1000's upon 1000's of coins and I got some nice examples of radical Machine Doubling. I even got a 1969-S that is machine doubled on the obverse just like the ones everyone tries to pass off as the real DDO on that coin. You have a DDR you should send it in to be attributed. Before Ken Potter passed he said " no two machine doubled coins will be the same" Well if that is the case then why have I seen (and easily looked up online) multiples of this same minted coin from different people two of them on this forum?

There is a wealth of knowledge here if you keep an open mind rather than adopting the attitude of Quote: Unfortunately the answer to every question about if it is a doubled die gets the same two answers on every forum on the internet.
