(Three layers on this! ) I hope so- than I can try and get Three Cents for this instead of maybe two (LOL)!

seattleMD Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 05/19/2008 9:04 pm Looks like a combination of Die Deterioration Doubling and Machine Doubling - notice how thin the numbers are. Report this Post to the Staff

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 05/19/2008 11:50 pm Quadruple Machine Doubling! Was it on a 68S LMC also, or different coins? Report this Post to the Staff
NGiles Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 05/20/2008 12:36 am Nice coin Chuckster, Does this happens when the die is loose? If it were ejection doubling it should only have one shelf. Multiple shelfs would have to mean multiple slips, so it would have to be a loose die, right? Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 05/20/2008 12:17 pm Thanks NGiles: I really don't know how it works, but obviously somthing went whacky/haywire when this coin was produced! Report this Post to the Staff
