Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/24/2022 5:50 pm Looks like Die Deterioration Doubling to me. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/24/2022 6:40 pm Note the year. It is a DDD. Looks like the motto devices. They are showing the same DDD die wear pattern on that area Just like the Liberty on the Cents. So it is a single squeeze die with DDD. Not Machine Doubling on the obverse and the reverse. Note all the affected areas are moving in the direction of the rims on both sides of the coins. (Slight Machine Doubling on tops of the EPU on Reverse) Edited by coop 07/24/2022 7:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 98032 Posts	Posted 07/24/2022 8:56 pm This is DDD. Which is different from MD. DDD forms from a worn die and the design elements on the die are wearing out - you can tell DDD from MD as DDD will skew the 'doubling' towards the rim all the way around. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
