JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21611 Posts	Posted 03/24/2019 4:01 pm I agree. Just Machine Doubling. Fairly common. As mentioned, please submit a photo of the overall coin when making a post. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/24/2019 6:56 pm Image the strike happens and after the strike, the machine takes a slight sideways movement. So the strike is altered by die damage making it look just like your coin. So the devices are not doubled, but reduced from coin damage. Report this Post to the Staff
