NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 985 Posts	Posted 07/07/2022 5:46 pm I came across this 1950 D, checked the reverse and noticed what I believe is MD in the motto. Question: Is it common for Machine Doubling to rotate? If you look at the top of the 2nd U in PLURIBUS it appears the tops of serif is aligned and as you progress down the U the spread widens and appears to have rotated a couple degrees. Curious if that is common in MD. Thanks "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 102274 Posts	Posted 07/07/2022 8:51 pm I'll have to agree, sometimes between strikes the collar can rotate a tiny bit if the machinery holding it is out of tolerance.

NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 985 Posts	Posted 07/07/2022 9:11 pm Thank you for the responses Dearborn and -makecents-. Some responses are far more helpful than others. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff

The only thing that I would add to the conversation is that it looks to me like the obv die was getting pretty tired. The letters of TRUST in particular are starting to bleed into the rim.
