Dearborn Moderator United States 97062 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 08:45 am Looks like Machine Doubling (tripling?) from a die bounce after the initial strike. Notice how the devices gets thinner at each level? if it were doubling or tripling, the devices would get wider.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 11:10 am Very loose machine. Proof coins are struck twice (and sometimes more on larger denominations) but the Machine Doubling is common to see on the second strikes on proof coins. (Often the first strike Machine Doubling is flattened by the second strike, creating flat field doubling) What does flat field doubling look like? You often see this on the proof doubled dies, but is not part of the doubled die, but flatten Machine Doubling on the first strike of the coin, then flattened on the second strike, leaving an appearance. But that is not what is on your coin. It is just Machine Doubling at an low angle of light. (probably reflection on the image) CoopHome: What is flat field doubling? What causes it?
