With that being said both of your coins are showing signs of common and non-valuable MD (mechanical or Machine Doubling). Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 12:34 pm As mentioned it is Machine Doubling that altered the devices. (making the devices smaller) On a doubled die, the outside/inside edges are not where to find a doubled die. You look at the centers of the devices to see if the devices are wider/tall in the centers of the devices: Machine Doubling at it worst: If if it were a doubled die it would be altered is shape: Look at the centers of the devices. Not on outside edges of the devices. (that is where you will find die wear and machine doubling) Report this Post to the Staff
