I think that is what it is. I looked online for anything similar and no luck. So I'm wanting some opinions, is it worth messing with or no? I appreciate any help and thanks in advance. I'm not the best photo taker and I recently got this s microscope type camera and still trying to figure it out. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74806 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 12:01 pm That's Machine Doubling, since the devices are reduced in size, it's shelflike (flat) in appearance. This doesn't carry any value over face value. http://www.error-ref.com/machine-doubling Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

RLS0812 Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 4:07 pm Coin isn't "worthless", it's just not worth a lot. Something like that I sell for $1 - $2 each. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 4:09 pm This Machine Doubling does not increase the value of a coin. Edited by SilverDollar2017 07/05/2018 4:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

"Purist" collectors hate MDD, however there is a market for them. The stronger the doubling, the more it' worth. You's can claim they have no value all day long, I'll take all the ones you get for "face value" ! Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 8:31 pm Machine Doubling does not equal a Doubled Die. Machine Doubling is common on modern coins. It should not be sold as a Doubled Die. Edited by SilverDollar2017 07/05/2018 8:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74806 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 8:36 pm It's actually worthless. You only get money on ebay, because of stupid buyers that don't know what Machine Doubling is. ebay is the only way to get money for Machine Doubling. By the way, it's pretty laughable that you say that Machine Doubling has value, while in the real world it doesn't. Errers and Varietys.
