MD is the result of die movement during a single strike cycle: http://www.error-ref.com/machine-doubling/ In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Edited by spru 01/13/2019 12:22 am Report this Post to the Staff
rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 10:18 am spruett001 D is the result of die movement during a single strike cycle: i agree with you completely I worked at the images last night I think I know what happen. I think the die is doubled itself. the strike is a single strike. because that would be the only way the die shows a multi strikes. I measured the the die strikes they are identical. the ditance on the 2 die patterns measure exact. so the die would have to be doubled. so that also would proved it was a single strike. so with that said, there is a 1959 double die out there. I know I am going to start looking for it. have a great one Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 12:52 pm " Machine Doubling" is really not a "striking" error. In the nanosecond just after the die strikes the planchet, the die or the mechanism that holds the die slightly moves (usually slightly rotates one way or the other)as the die is pulling away from the planchet. The die itself is not doubled on this coin. There are many ways that a so-called "doubled" image can appear on a coin. Here are a few: http://doubleddie.com/144801.html http://doubleddie.com/144822.html http://doubleddie.com/144843.html http://doubleddie.com/58222.html Report this Post to the Staff
