Kmrakid New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 03/28/2020 10:26 pm Good evening, I found 2-1976 Quarters in the lot. Upon closer review it looks like they may both have a DDO on the Obverse and one may have a DDR. I have added pictures of one coin, the one with a possible DDR and DDO, for everyone's review. I can see the doubled in most of the word "LIBERTY" and on the reverse it's on some of the stars. Sometimes they look like MD's. Any info from you guys and gals out there would be a great help, I am still trying to figure out how to tell all these errors and varieties.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/29/2020 11:12 pm Machine Doubling on both sides. This is more common than having a doubled die on both sides. (its not that it doesn't happen, it just the MD is so common that is usually affects both sides of the coin. Side point: It appears to you using a dual set of lights. While this works nicely on full image coins, in micro photos it removes the light and shadows we need to see the Machine Doubling or doubled dies if present. Machine Doubling shows an appearance of doubling, but it really just flat and creates glare. When I invert the colors on an image, the areas that many think are a doubled die, is hidden from too much light and hides in glare: Note the lower image. You can barely see glare. But then you invert the colors, (removing glare) then you can see the Machine Doubling. Also note the areas affected are being reduced in size with Machine Doubling. On a doubled die, the devices are enlarged: (also not the closed devices are reduced on a doubled die. 'BR' on Liberty) Note the differences in sizes of the devices with this side by side with normal and doubled dies: Note the enlarging of the devices on the doubled die: Edited by coop 03/29/2020 11:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
