Patriot New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 03/14/2019 01:49 am Oh my goodness, such knowledge within this forum! I have been reading and studying info and pictures. I need an update for my brain's digital filing system. I have read about doubled die and RPM. Is the below D/D an RPM? If yes, is it common or is it something to hold on to? Or...do I have it all wrong and need to go back to the books? Thanks so much for all that you share with beginners. Report this Post to the Staff

Roro57 Valued Member Canada 195 Posts	Posted 03/14/2019 12:36 pm I am by no means an expert here but is it possible that this is a tilted D/D. If not atleast it is a decent silver coin with value there. Report this Post to the Staff
Patriot New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 03/14/2019 2:59 pm Thank you Roro57. I am going to my first local coin club meeting later this month, so maybe someone can directly view it there. My photos are still a work in progress. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/14/2019 8:01 pm It is Machine Doubling. The mint mark is pushed aside. Sometimes the mint mark is higher than the other devices on the die. Because the mint mark is added after the die is created, the mint mark is later added to the die. If it is taller, the Machine Doubling after the strike can bounce touching just that area. Machine Doubling doesn't follow rules. You can see different doubling difference between each strike: These came out of the OBW roll and you can see the same markers on each coin. The Machine Doubling varies on each strike. It just depends on how much play is in the machines setup. They can adjust it, and it will be fine again. Report this Post to the Staff
