Danzil New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 03:34 am Nice penny! I'm by no means an expert but, the images & tutorials I've watched & read, it looks really close to it! I kinda looks like a worn or wearing die. I really don't know though! 🤷 #127996;#8205;#9794;#65039; Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 04:46 am Looks like MD to me. Did you check all three-reference site we all need to do to find an attribution number?By doing that you also learn to recognize the differences between MD and hub doubling. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Fdock9 New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 05:20 am I definitely checked Wexlers, variety vista, andmost of my books. But I'm at a loss because at first it seems like Machine Doubling or die wear but everything on the reverse design has some sort of doubling and it was noticeable before I magnified it. But of you think it's just die wear or MD I'll take your word for it you usually know what you are talking about, thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 06:24 am @fdo, the way that you can know that this type of doubling is Machine Doubling is by the steplike appearance, where the design elements are made thinner. Also, with MD, you won't see any split serifs. Yours is a great example of this phenomenon.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 1:05 pm This discussion inspired me to answer a question that has been haunting me for years. When did the reverse dies change over from the multi hub dies to the single squeeze dies on cents? The answer is on this link: http://goccf.com/t/422965 The answer might surprise you?
