Then look at the right side of the devices? There is not light to fading visible. Why, because on the right side you see Machine Doubling. The affected area is flattened. So the contour of the devices are gone. If this were a doubled die you would see the contour on these devices on both sides of the devices. DDRs: Machine doubled: Do you note the missing contour on the machine doubled examples? It is always the same color because that area was flattened after the strike damaged by the machine. On a doubled die, the doubling is on the die. (thus the term) Report this Post to the Staff
