coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/16/2022 7:20 pm Correct. After the strike the looseness of the machine damaged the fresh devices it just struck. This is typical Machine Doubling. A doubled die can have Machine Doubling, (because the die is what is doubled from hub doubling) but Machine Doubling never makes a doubled die. Machine Doubling only damages the pre-struck devices on the coin. (Normal dies or doubled dies) Edited by coop 06/16/2022 7:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
