Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74876 Posts	Posted 03/10/2018 3:22 pm Nope, not a Doubled Die. This is Machine Doubling. Machine Doubling reduces the devices in size and the doubling is shelflike in appearance. On a true Doubled Die, the devices would increase in size, not be reduced in size. For Doubled Dies, you need to look for extra thickness, notching, and separation lines. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/10/2018 3:24 pm The affected devices are with Machine Doubling. Note that all the devices are thinner now because of die movement damaging the devices. Leaving the flat, shelf like. They show the same color because there is not contour of the devices. This happened a lot on the 1968-1972 cents. Seems like on the 1973 cents where they used more pressure, prevented this from happening as often. Report this Post to the Staff
