coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/16/2019 01:46 am Machine doubling. Not a doubled die. The difference? A doubled die is created on the die with a wrong alignment/or damaged hub. Machine Doubling is from a normal die that after the strike, it is damaged by the machine. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 07/16/2019 1:23 pm Hey guys, I think we are missing the point of the OP. Yes, its definitely Machine Doubling...but its weird. Specifically zoom in on the the last pic at how the devices themselves have a weird "scalloped" edge right above the step formed by the Machine Doubling. What causes this? If it was on just one letter I would think it a hit, but what caused this type of PMD besides the MD? How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74301 Posts	Posted 07/17/2019 7:55 pm Earle42, maybe the machine was very loose and moved around like when you scribble with a crayon? I don't really know. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/17/2019 7:58 pm Almost looks like the metal chipped away from the Machine Doubling pushing hard against these devices. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 07/17/2019 8:49 pm Thanks for coming back to this both of you. I just have never seen this on MD before and was really interested what it could be. @Coop That much pressure on such a thin metal edge and pushing at an angle makes a lot of sense it could chip.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/17/2019 9:18 pm Keep in mind how the metal gets pushed aside because of the MD. So it probably later comes off during circulation. But the coin is still a keeper. 40% silver. Edited by coop 07/17/2019 9:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
