Yes I agree with MD too. This is a great example @eric!

Still . ,. . Machine Doubling is not an error and there is no added value for this coin. |

Nope, I meant Machine Doubling and if I'm wrong that it doesn't add value for this coin, I will be glad to admit it. All my days on this forum, I see many coins dismissed as just Machine Doubling or Mechanical Doubling that people thought were doubled dies. I have been wrong many times but this would surprise me if it is valuable. |

That's why instead of Machine Doubling I call it machine damage. Then there is no mistake about error or variety. |

 I stand corrected on it being a mint error I guess. It is not a variety but a unique result of shifty loose dies. |

I strongly disagree with calling Machine Doubling, Machine Damage, as it happened during the strike. If the minting machine damaged the coin, well then that's an error by definition. The coin is in no way damaged. And while it may be a minor and common error, there are a few folks who collect really strong MD, so not a topic to totally dismiss. Certain dates with strong MD are worth good money, or a really strong MD on an unusual date. 1957-D is probably the most valuable as there are some really nice ones on that date and mint mark that collectors look for. But for 1983, the OP's coin, I don't really see any increase in value for MD. I'd put it, as noted and agreed upon, in an slip as a good example of MD and use it as a reference coin. |

The instant the planchet is struck, that's the strike. Anything after that such as die movement is not part of the minting process, and is damage.

Well the strike happened, then the damage happened after the strike.  If the machine had not damaged the coin, it would have been a normal coin. So I consider the term correct when used in the right context. Edited by coop
