scubalou Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 03/01/2021 7:55 pm Pulled this out of my parking meter money. First thought maybe a DDO but think perhaps just Die Deterioration, what do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34398 Posts	Posted 03/01/2021 8:47 pm @scuba, perhaps someone will correct me, but when I think about DDD, the doubling is spread to the rim of the coin. This is not the case with your coin, so perhaps it is MD.

This is not the case with your coin, so perhaps it is MD. Sounds right - on the coin the letters are mostly smaller where the doubling shows so I'll go with MD also. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/02/2021 11:32 am Again it is both events. MD on the inner side of the devices, DDD on the side facing the rim. But what rules out not a DDO? One device. Note the 'R' on Trust. That is why it is not a DDO. Note on the doubled die, the 'R' is enlarged. (not reduced like MD can do) Report this Post to the Staff
