Titles are Important! * Hello, I'm a roll hunter and came across this 2017 Penny. I was just wondering what you though or if anyone has seen this before. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/31/2018 11:48 pm The devices are normal in size. The MD affects the bottom of the digits on the date. On a DDO, the devices looks like over inflated bicycle tubes. Enlarged and distorted. Note on this one, the tops and bottoms of the devices look wider than the vertical areas. See the spreads on the centers of the devices. Don't look at the edges of the devices as that is where MD happens. Look at the centers of the devices to see the widened devices from a doubled die. Sometimes the doubling is so minor you need to see them side by side to tell the differences. CoopHome : Shield cent DDO date Report this Post to the Staff

Bartolo New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 2:18 pm Thanks Guys I really appreciate it. Machining was the first place I went with it but but a little weary without getting a bit more professional opinion. The only thing that through me off was that it seemed like there were 4 distinct lines at the base of the numbers ( 2 where the base of the seven where the coin is at it's highest and two lower where the macining base starts and I just wasn't sure. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 3:09 pm Take a look again at the examples above. No where is the doubling on the tops, bottoms and edges of the devices. These areas are mostly where MD happens. Take a look again and note where you see the hub doubling. Mostly spread out from the centers of the design. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/03/2018 12:34 pm Ever wonder why they only put the 'P' mint mark on just this one year? New information to me. Just read it on the mints web site. Report this Post to the Staff
