coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/29/2018 12:12 pm Note how the metal moved upwards. (I'm not talking about the lower part of the Machine Doubling, but one the higher part of this device, the metal is pushed upwards. MD can happen on one device or more. Often times stronger on on device and weakning on other devices next to it. So MD is what you seeing on your coin. It it were damage, it would not exactly match the shape of the device. Either way it is not a doubled die. Note the lower image. If it were a doubled die, then chances are more of the devices would be affected next to it. On a doubled die, the doubling is on the die. On MD, it is created after the strike by the machine and follows no rules. Even a doubled die can have Machine Doubling alter the strike after it happened. Hope this helps. If not, ask more questions. Report this Post to the Staff
