alwaysgavino Valued Member United States 122 Posts	Posted 08/19/2021 01:31 am Found this CRH looks nice. Is this Machine Doubling worth keeping? Edited by alwaysgavino 08/19/2021 02:19 am Report this Post to the Staff

PeterPan21 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 08/19/2021 02:52 am V cool! I'm not an expert, but the top of the S stands out to me. Curious why it seems to be affected in much the same way as the rest of the obverse lettering. Since that is punched separately I'd expect it to be unaffected. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 08/19/2021 07:02 am Yes definitely MD and a very nice example. Good to keep as an exemplar, even if only worth face value.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19193 Posts	Posted 08/19/2021 07:31 am Good case of machine doubling--which occurred when the coin was in the striking chamber (well after the S mint mark was part of the die). Keep it if you like it! Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97062 Posts	Posted 08/19/2021 09:22 am Nice example on Machine Doubling. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8777 Posts	Posted 08/19/2021 10:10 am It would appear to be "slide" or "push" doubling, which is a form of MD, stated above. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Bumpkin Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 08/19/2021 1:02 pm Not to split hairs here, but I believe this to be what is classified as "Single Strike - Flat Field Doubling" which IS a type of Strike Doubling. Single Strike-Flat Field Doubling does not affect the devices by reducing their size and/or shape by cutting 'into' the affected device(s) unlike common simple Strike or Machine Doubling does. Just MHO. Common Strike or Machine Doubling: Single Strike-Flat Field Doubling: **Images courtesy of Ken Potter Edited by Bumpkin 08/19/2021 1:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/19/2021 5:13 pm MD in the opposite direction. Not a die issue, not a RPM issue, it is a striking issue. MD after the strike. Report this Post to the Staff
