Beowulf New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 03/15/2018 12:38 pm I couldn't get a good picture of it. If I zoomed in closer it just got blurry. Thanks though, I was thinking it was an MD just not 100%. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/15/2018 12:55 pm Looks like MD. On the inside area of the '9', I can see striation lines. (metal movement from one edge of metal leaving these lines that show the sharpness of that area) These would not be present on a hub doubled example. Note the arrows on this image. It points to metal striation lines that are visible: The more the metal slides, the more they are seen On this ATB Quarter you can see them very easily. Always caused by metal sliding from die movement. As mentioned, the hub doubling that creates a die doesn't show this. So a doubled die coin is struck from a die that has the hub doubling on the die. Thus the term Doubled Die. Edited by coop 03/15/2018 12:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
