Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 05/01/2022 08:49 am @ell, that shelf-like doubling that reduces the width of the devices is MD. For some reason, this was a bit common on cents from the late 1960s. Yours is a nice example, and even if this form of doubling doesn't add to the value you could keep it in your collection as the cost of ownership is low.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/01/2022 12:19 pm Just Machine Doubling that was common on the 1968-1972 cents. Still happens even on current coinage. What your looking at is where the contour of the coin was pushed aside. The opposite sides of the devices are unaffected. Even the 1969-S DDO-001 coin had Machine Doubling on them. You can see the doubled die on the digits, and also the single direction of Machine Doubling on the yellow arrows. Machine Doubling can happen on normal/doubled dies. But a doubled die is caused by a doubled die. Machine Doubling never makes a doubled die. But a doubled die can be altered by the machine. It is then a doubled die with Machine Doubling. But altered normal coins are just showing Machine Doubling, never a doubled die. (Only a doubled die, will strike a doubled die coin) Edited by coop 05/01/2022 12:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/02/2022 04:24 am Did you look for an attribution number? I knew it was MD but I wanted you to look it up for the practice, that way it helps you learn all the different types of doubling. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/03/2022 3:03 pm On your coin is it not a DDR. But looking up on those sites to see the listed examples, will help you find what your are looking for. On your coin the Machine Doubling affected the outside edges of the devices. But on a Doubled die, there will be spread on the devices seen on the centers of the devices. (not on the outside/inside edges of the devices) Report this Post to the Staff
