SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/25/2021 10:39 am My baseline assumption is always that people who post here are asking questions in good faith, but I'm really starting to suspect you're trolling us, Chip. Every time you're told new information about using variety reference sites or how to identify doubling and other varieties and errors, you take one step forward and then two steps back. You must be messing with us, right? Report this Post to the Staff
Chip chatters Valued Member 184 Posts	Posted 05/25/2021 2:01 pm I'm not messing with you I just lose my place sometimes well quite often. I guess you have to be like a specialist at some type like an art dealer looks paintings I think some people have a knack for it I never was too good at it Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/25/2021 3:15 pm No one is asking for you to be an expert, dude, we're just asking you to respect our time. To me, that means 1. Clear, properly oriented pictures highlighting the relevant areas of the coin, 2. A clear, descriptive title that says what you believe the variety or error to be or at least what it looks like and where it can be seen, and 3. Some indication that you tried to match the coin on a reference site before coming to us. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 05/25/2021 6:18 pm I whole heartily agree with SamCoin. I think you're just throwing anything up to see if it sticks. I don't see any effort by you to make a good faith attempt to learn about errors. SamCoin in past posts has given you some excellent resources for you to gain knowledge, but these efforts are falling on deaf ears. Give a man a fish and he eats for a meal. Teach a man to fish and he eats every day for the rest of his life. You, Chip chatters want to fish caught and cooked for you every day, and show no interest in learning.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/25/2021 6:29 pm Double glare. The glare shows where the Machine Doubling is. The flat surface reflect the glare. Note on this image. The image in blue in is what you are seeing, while the lower image (that show slight glare) is what we are seeing. Machine Doubling is an alteration of the coins devices right after strike. The devices are reduced in size. You are looking at the outside edge of the devices. That is where Machine Doubling is found on a doubled die, the doubling is seen on the center of the devices, not on the outside edges of the devices. Note the normal size images (#1) The DDO (#2) and the machine doubled example (#3). What is the differences. Note the first image the normal one. The devices are the normal size, next image down the doubled die. The devices are wider in the centers. And the last image showing Machine Doubling. The overall size id there, but the Machine Doubling is reducing the normal size of the devices. You are looking at Machine Doubling. It is a machine issue. A doubled die is doubling on the die that makes the devices larger. On is worth once cent. The other is a die variety and depending on condition, is worth many times for than the doubled die. Look at the centers of the devices. If they do not appear enlarged, stop there and move on to the next coin. Machine Doubling is not a premium, a doubled die is. Trying to help you save your time.
