BadDog Pillar of the Community United States 1375 Posts	Posted 07/28/2019 1:49 pm I was taking some photos of my Buffalo nickel collection and noticed what I believe to be strong Machine Doubling on the obverse of my 1914 that I hadn't noticed before The doubling is along the entire front side of the face Full Obverse Close-up of a portion of the doubling Just looking for confirmation and/or other opinions.

Here's a close-up of the upper part of the face and the eye It does appear that there may be doubling at the vertical portion of the eyelid? The 1914 DDO-001 photos you get to from the CONECA website don't look like my coin to my eyes. I'm still thinking Machine Doubling Edited by BadDog 07/28/2019 3:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CherryPicker1 Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 07/28/2019 7:18 pm I've actually seen quite a few other Buffalo nickels with Machine Doubling on the profile like this. It seems to be fairly common on most dates, you can look it up on ebay. Report this Post to the Staff
