Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 5:56 pm Hmm, I don't see any doubling of the inscriptions or design elements. Do you mean the slightly weird edge from about 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock? If not, then we are going to need close-up photos to see what you are looking at.

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 6:17 pm Kanga - as you know, the U.S. Mint uses the term penny, so I really don't understand why you "correct" everyone who uses the term. The U.S. Mint sends out rolls of PENNIES as per them. Report this Post to the Staff

It's not like they accidentally printed the word "pennies" on the side of a box. It was intentional, not an error. Quote: Oh, and it's a CENT, not a penny. What's the difference?

It's the gubmint's collusion with Great Britain from the resultant stalemate of the second Revolutionary War! It was agreed we would no longer use their crappy money anymore but we still would subliminally call it the "Penny". Didn't you know that?

canadacoins201 Valued Member Canada 97 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 6:37 pm That's what I would figure. And BTW Crazyb0, I love those documents you made on double die errors! I've learned so much from them! Thanks for the contribution! Report this Post to the Staff

DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 7:12 pm tobeornot: some advice include a photo of both sides of the coin. Keep working on getting clearer photos. when you do post them on this thread don't start a new one. it will bump to the top. Report this Post to the Staff

DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 8:12 pm looks like Machine Doubling to me.MD is damage done to the coin as the dies separate. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 8:59 pm Yes I agree with @drdon that it is MD.
