CherryPicker1 Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 01/01/2020 10:58 pm Sorry, not a DDO, but Machine Doubling. A very good example of it though! I would keep it for future reference. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/01/2020 11:01 pm That is Machine Doubling. The die was normal, but the machine altered the devices after the strike. On a doubled die the devices are enlarged on the die. This Machine Doubling is noted by reduction of the normal devices.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/02/2020 06:56 am Just a FYI: it would be called a doubled die,not a double die. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/02/2020 5:30 pm Here is a side by side with top left, normal coin, bottom left normal die, with Machine Doubling slight, that reduces the size of the devices. Top right FS-101, bottom right FS-102. This way you can see normal, MD and enlarging (spread) on a doubled die.

Ayojustin, it may seem like we are nitpicking but on(e) letter can completely change the meaning of a word. Granted, the misspelling can be accidental or computer induced but unless it is pointed out, how would newer collectors know which is correct? Take it with a grain of salt and say "Thanks" instead. If you were just trying your hand at sarcasm and humor try an emoji at the end. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
