Houler Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 02/15/2022 12:41 pm Hello all, I was just looking at my pile of possible error coins with my new microscope camera that I recently got and decided to share my findings. Here are some pictures related to the title of this post: date with some doubling, the 4 really stands out some doubling on the letters some more doubling some doubling on the letters of Liberty An overview shot of the penny In a recent post I learned about Doubling from Machining, could this be the case here?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/15/2022 12:52 pm You are spotlighting and causing glare on the areas you want to show. Probably is just Machine Doubling and it reflects off a flat surface. The reason I say that is that the overall size of the devices are normal If it were a doubled die, it would show spread on the centers of the of the devices, not on the outside/inside edges of the devices. What a DDO would look like: Edited by coop 02/15/2022 12:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Houler Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 02/15/2022 1:00 pm I see, I was having problems distinguishing between DDO and Machine Doubling, until just a few moments ago when I was reading a thread by you on this forum. Now I know "it would show spread on the center of the devices." It finally just clicked. I've been seeing a lot of coins like this, you are right, Machine Doubling is very common. Learning every day. Thank you for the reply and the helpful images coop! Edited by Houler 02/15/2022 1:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Houler Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 02/15/2022 7:43 pm @John1, which "all three reference sites" are you referring to, just so we're on the same page. I don't know of any definitive 3 reference sites, I just do google searches and find articles or websites that seem plausible, lol. Report this Post to the Staff
