Not sure what I see here! Pretty sure it isn't Machine Doubling, but it doesn't match anything on coppercoins. Could it be one of the ones with no photos? Looking at it very close you can almost make out a possible d/d/d. Still learning the fine art of getting good photos on the QX5; if you need me to try different angles and lighting let me know. Thanks!

Machine doubling. Look how the left edge of the mintmark is flattened and scraped (the little lines inside the doubled area). That's classic Machine Doubling.

I have to admit this one really fooled me! In hand it looks very convincing. But, the more I look at it, I do agree with you. As always, thanks for your input.

Here is a coin that shows the metal flow lines the best. Check the lower edges of the devices.

I too have that problem. Sometimes the light will reflect and give the impression that theres a doubled die so after rotating it several times you can see the Machine Doubling.
