oldmike Pillar of the Community Canada 891 Posts	Posted 11/12/2018 2:26 pm I always thought that is some weird kind of Die Deterioration but that's only my guess Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/12/2018 2:33 pm On Die Deterioration on the Single squeeze dies, the doubling is more on the fields next to the devices. No usually on the tops of the devices except for the ridge rim obverses. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 11/12/2018 2:58 pm The sunken areas in the middle of the lettering is not Machine Doubling. There are threads about it on the CCF but I can't remember what it's called. Not a doubled die, at any rate. Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks John! Quote: The sunken areas in the middle of the lettering is not Machine Doubling. There are threads about it on the CCF but I can't remember what it's called. No need to repeat what has already been said. Even I don't forget things that fast! Report this Post to the Staff
