Lastcawl New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 01/30/2022 9:54 pm Just started learning about varieties and errors, and when I came across this, I was excited because I've never seen Machine Doubling or DD in person. But pretty sure this is MD, yes? Edited by Lastcawl 01/30/2022 10:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/30/2022 10:14 pm Yes, a nice example of Machine Doubling. This is a "die event" and therefore not a mint error or variety. No premium I'm afraid. to the CCF! p.s.- Nice photography, btw! Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/30/2022 10:28 pm BTW, be careful when handling coins in your fingers or against your skin, as oils from your skin can etch your fingerprints/handprints onto the surface of your coins, especially ultra shiny newer coins. Better, use inexpensive cotton gloves (available from anywhere hobby supplies are sold) to protect your coins. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 01/30/2022 10:32 pm you are wright for MD. This one is nice because have the indent versus inside of the center of the coin. Not perfect versus but nice example of MD with a small miss alignment.. Edited by silviosi 01/30/2022 10:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 01/31/2022 10:03 am @Merclover MD is not a die event, since it has nothing to do with the die itself. It's caused by a slight looseness during the strike that allows the die to bounce slightly and pinch the already-struck coin. I would consider (and Mike Diamond has supported this) Machine Doubling to be a type of worthless error like a misaligned die, Rim Fin, etc., although one could also argue that it is not an error, variety, or anything else and is simply a feature of some coins that is within mint tolerances like a penny weighing 3.12 grams.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/31/2022 7:06 pm Correct. The machine created this on the coin right after the strike. No premium for these as they happen often. A Doubled Die has the doubling on the die. And Machine Doubling can also happen on a doubled die as well, because the machine damages the coin right after the strike. Report this Post to the Staff
