SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 10/03/2020 10:34 am Not trying to "condescend" to you again, but you can't just compare a coin to arbitrary parts of a doubled die listed on Wexler's. You have to read the description and look at where he says the doubling is and match it to your coin. The coin you mention, WDDO-013, shows Machine Doubling on the date, but if you read the description and look at the arrows, you'll see Wexler is not talking about the MD, but only the tail of the two, which he draws a big arrow to in the first picture. Your coin doesn't have this. Report this Post to the Staff

QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 10/03/2020 11:40 am My vote says Machine Doubling. Devices are reduced in size. If it was a doubled die, the devices you refer to wouldn't be as small as they appear. Hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff
mb560600 Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 10/03/2020 12:05 pm Thanks Samcoin and Quarterhoarder72. I wasn't contending that this was an established DDO by Wexler or Variety Vista. I knew that. I was just speculating that this might be a new one, considering that numerous new varieties have been discovered....particularly involving the 7 and the 2. Report this Post to the Staff
Ang5212 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 10/03/2020 3:22 pm It's obvious that you are not really willing to accept anything other than what you want it to be so just tell yourself that it is a new variety and put it up in your collection and be proud of it I guess.

mb560600 Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 10/03/2020 4:35 pm Actually ANG5212, I was open to any information about this coin that would confirm what caused it to appear doubled--specifically the 7 on the date. MD did not seem like the right answer. There was no consistency in doubled images which is normally what appears when there is MD. I looked at the information and photos provided on CC about MD and it did not add up with respect to this coin. So, I kept waiting for other possible causes to be offered. No one mentioned PMD as a possible cause. And after looking at the coin again, I believe the anomaly is the result of PMD--a significant ding that caused the shelf of the 7 to shift downward. I admit I was wrong in speculating that it could be a new DDO. If someone had mentioned PMD in a response earlier I would have come to that realization without belaboring the issue. I am a new member and I do appreciate the information that members of the Community are willing to provide. It continues to be educational, and I am grateful to all who have responded with positive comments and insight. Thanks. Hope everyone has a great weekend! Report this Post to the Staff
