tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 10/26/2008 09:33 am BJ, Can you explain your answer a bit. Of course, I am very much the novice of telling Machine Doubling from the real deal. When I look at the third picture, it doesn't look "shelf like" and flat to me. I thought this was one of the main things to look for with Machine Doubling. I apologize for asking you to elaborate, and I am certainly not expecting a novel. Just curious is all to help me get things right. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/26/2008 6:13 pm F1 & F2 look like die wear. The edges of the devices are wearing and what I call snow-drifting over the devices so that the field and the devices flow together. The light you see is off the snow-drifting area.

brefos77 Pillar of the Community United States 792 Posts	Posted 10/26/2008 6:56 pm Thanks for all of your answers. If there's one thing I've learned, it's not to trust the 1982 and 1983 cents. Especially 1983. By the way, on the DC pic, is that a crack or a break? Report this Post to the Staff
