Titles are Important! * Being new here I want to personally thank all of the senior members for their experience, guidance and opinions. It is greatly appreciated. I'm finding out the biggest obstacle is determining a double die from Mechanical Doubling. I have been reading, and watching videos to train my eye and I am hoping I am on the right track. I believe what I have learned so far these are all Mechanical Doubling. I am just trying to make sure I am on the right track. Thank you for all of your input. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75320 Posts	Posted 09/30/2018 1:46 pm I'm thinking that these have Die Deterioration Doubling on them, caused by a worn die, from striking a ton of coins. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4408 Posts	Posted 09/30/2018 3:33 pm Here's what I see: Pics 3, 9, 10, and 11 definitely have MD. Pics 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, and 14 definitely have Die Deterioration Doubling. Pics 1, 2, 4, 5, and 15 I can't see the doubling. Some of these that aren't obviously Machine Doubling, look to be issues caused by your lighting (just glare from your light). It's still good to differentiate this from a true doubled die, so I think you're on the right path. Definitely look at the links posted above about Machine Doubling, they'll help if you haven't looked at them already. Here are some links to posts about die deterioration/die wear, since some of the coins you pictured are deterioration rather than MD.
