RCarv Valued Member 200 Posts	Posted 05/09/2021 3:36 pm You basically can see the full face being doubled while holding coin in your hand. Pic I added you can see the nose being doubled also Edited by RCarv 05/09/2021 3:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10044 Posts	Posted 05/09/2021 3:55 pm Mechanical Doubling does not wear off. It is more a less a "smearing" of the devices by loose dies. The affected devices appear thinner and the doubling is like yours - flat and shelf-like. Please research MD here on this forum for graphics etc. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/09/2021 4:24 pm On the doubled eye, it is raised, not flatten. You are seeing as mentioned already Machine Doubling. This also occurred on the 1955-D DDO cent: Also note, that it is not flattened, but raised as it is hub doubling, not Machine Doubling. Note all the other hub doubling s also showing a spread: Note also on the 1942 DDO the affected areas are raised: Enlarged eye, showing spread, compared with an example of Machine Doubling. Another one with the raised eye lid. Machine Doubling removes contour, a doubled die has contour on the devices. Hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff
