Spence Moderator United States 34435 Posts	Posted 10/24/2021 8:53 pm @tex, I agree that this is a very nice example of machine doubling--unfortunately not the sort of doubling that you are trying to find though.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/25/2021 10:52 am These images might help you see what is going on with Machine Doubling on your coin: Note the green highlighted areas? That is where the Machine Doubling removed the contour of the edge of those devices. That metal was pushed back into the normal area of the devices. It is there, it is just like pushed snow. When you move snow it rises and when enough is pushed back on a coins devices, then you can see it rise above the design: Report this Post to the Staff
