John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/12/2019 04:41 am I am not seeing a DDO. Try and make a match using one of the three reference sites, and let us know if you find an attribution number. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/12/2019 08:19 am If you are looking at the devices touching the rim, all the 1968 cents have this issue. The master hub was swelling for years, moving the outer devices into the rim area. This was fixed in 1969 with a new master hub. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/14/2019 8:45 pm Depending on what you are calling doubling: This Machine Doubling: Note how the devices are reduced in size by the MD (Flat, shelf like missing the contour on the devices) Note on the Machine Doubling the outer areas of the devices are affected. Here is an couple of examples of a doubled dies: Note the affected areas? They are showing spread on the centers of the devices. Not on the outside edges except when notching happens. Not how much wider they are. Machine Doubling is caused by machine malfunction. (these are real common) Doubled dies are enlarged/doubled by the hub that creates the die. Thus a doubled die is called a doubled die, because the doubling in on the die. (Premiums for these) So scroll and compair the size differences between the two sets of images. Then you will be what is reduced and enlarged. Edited by coop 12/14/2019 8:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
