coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/05/2021 5:19 pm Machine doubling. After the strike, the machine altered some of the devices, often in a single direction, other times in several directions. Depending on how loose the machine was. Report this Post to the Staff

shathe Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 05/05/2021 5:57 pm so, I assume that Mechanical Doubling really isn't that valuable in general? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/05/2021 6:04 pm It is common. It can happen on a normal die as well as a doubled die. The machine causes it, so it is common. Most variety collectors prefer doubled dies without the MD. The graders don't care. they just grade them as normal. But to a collector of varieties, they are often a deal breaker. 1969-S DDO-001; You see the hub doubling on the date, but note the yellow arrows. They are pointing to the single direction of the MD. (south on all of them, and different each strike) Most of this variety have MD. The 1968-1972 cents had a lot of Machine Doubling those years. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/05/2021 7:51 pm Not the location? You are looking on the outside edges of the devices. Look at the centers. This is Machine Doubling. Caused by the machine. On a doubled die, the doubling is on the die. And a doubled die can have Machine Doubling. Because it is caused by the machine. But Machine Doubling never makes a doubled die. Why? Because the hub doubling is on the die. A doubled die is created doubled. A normal die is just normal. Look at the centers of the devices, not on the outside edges of devices. Normal and a DDR. Note the closed devices are even smaller in size, because of the enlargement of the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
