Interesting...wait for one of the experts to respond, they know much better than me. It certainly might seem you have some doubling, especially on the ONE CENT lettering. The letters seem to be stretching downwards, by the assumed doubling is slightly above the clear letters. Again wait for an expert.

From what I can see, it looks more like an issue with Machine Doubling multiple light sources. On micro photos we need to see images with just one bulb. That will give us light and shadows. With multi light combos, we get glare on several sides of the devices. Even the incuse devices (EPU) shows MD. But I feel the light is working again you with this setup. |

Hm...yes it does look like some sort of Machine Doubling from the images provided. Thanks for the pictures by the way, I would recommend to definitely keep the coin, it shows a good representation of small amounts of Machine Doubling. Nice find! The "pros" and experts on coins will describe more in detail then me, wait for them. |

My opinion and a dollar might get you a cup of coffee but I think some is obverse triple on the nose at least but I really don't know much.

I appreciate everyone's comments. I am also having to learn to take good images. Is there a rule of thumb for number of images per post?

As your photos improve and your understanding of what to look for increases you will find less need for large quantities of photos.

Note what a doubled die looks like on this year:  The devices are enlarged in the center. You looking at the edge of devices where you will find Machine Doubling. What is the difference? Machine Doubling happens most often on regular dies and movement of the dies damages/reduces the size of the devices. So the devices are affected by the machine. But Doubled dies are enlarged Note on this image how the devices looks like over inflated tubes on bike tires. The doubling is on the die and will be consistent from strike to strike. The devices are enlarged because the doubling is on the die. (thus the term doubled die) Looks for the spread/enlargement of the devices. Stop looking on the edges of devices.   Look at the center of the devices. Note the normal examples compared with the doubled dies? |

Thank you all. Cooper the images you used were fantastic. I'll be looking for the extra thickness and looking toward the centers. Is this the case with all doubled dies or just a characteristic of 2018. Is the teardrop a common item on the 2018's. Is the nose common? Is it Machine Doubling? The only thickness on my coin seems to be on the liberty. I am not challenging anyone, but I am truly looking to increase my knowledge. Is there anything on the coin that is uncommon or worthy of a second look? Thank you everyone for taking your precious time with me. jmewrites |
