So, as I understand it, (correct me if I'm wrong) enlarged devices with this line is a way to destinguish from it being doubled to just Die Deterioration. I know to look for notching as both devices are same size. Machine Doubling causes one device to be longer than original device. Sometimes it's notched on left and notched on the right making the MD device behind the original appear longer. It extends past original on both ends. I just wanna know am I looking for the right things? Thank you Group Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 6:26 pm I agree. But you are catching on. The devices are enlarged as E&V mentioned, but note how they are squashed? The will make anything look larger. Seems like zinc cents are easier to be flattened than the copper ones. But on the '8' your looking for the right thing, the bottom look distorted. But not so with your coin, it was flattened. But you know one when you spot it. Note on this one. Both outer loops are affected on the date. (top and bottom loops) Report this Post to the Staff
