coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/26/2022 10:20 am Your are looking in the wrong area of the date. On the outside/inside edges of the devices is where you will find Machine Doubling. For the doubled dies, the spread is in the center of the design: So look at the centers of the devices and not the edges of devices if you are looking for a doubled die. The machine damages the devices after the strike on Machine Doubling. A doubled die has the doubling on the die, thus the term Doubled Die Report this Post to the Staff
