SupriseCoin77 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 07/26/2019 10:12 pm I am debating with my brother about these 2 coins found in a collection owned by our grandfather. My grandfather collected error coins, but I'm not so sure this is one. My brother thinks it is some type of error, but I disagree. Any thoughts? I am posting 2 coins of the same year, both different.

demelone Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 07/27/2019 06:43 am Yes. This appears to be Machine Doubling. It's an error, but a very common one. Report this Post to the Staff

Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 07/28/2019 3:06 pm The mint mark look to be slightly rotated to me, but I don't think it far enough for it to be valuable. Normally the southeast curve would be closest to the rim, the center of the curve is on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/28/2019 3:14 pm Just noticed also the devices are not as tall as usual, probably because of a heavy/multiple die polishing. The die is getting pretty close to retirement. Even after previous polishing, the flow lines are coming back again. Report this Post to the Staff
