If it is Machine Doubling it will look like this:  Note the affected areas are no longer contoured, flat shelf like looking, a reduction of the devices and only found on the edges of the devices.  A doubled has the doubling on the die. MD is caused after the strike altering the devices. Here is what a doubled die looks like:  Can you tell the differences now? |

Awesome pictures coop! I am constantly having to educate my fellow coin club members on Machine Doubling versus doubled dies. No matter how many times you explain it, people have a hard time getting it. Pictures likes yours really cement the conceptual difference very well. |

Well I've explained it so much, I still try new approaches on the subject. I'm now at over 9,000 images and still adding daily.

Remember to look on the center of the devices and not on the edges. When you spot that is isn't a doubled die, move on to the next coin. Don't keep looking at the edges of the devices.

MD has no added value unless it is major. John1 |
