Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 07/25/2022 09:28 am @dur, first welcome to CCF. Second, that step-like doubling which is reducing the width of the letters looks a lot like Machine Doubling to me too.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21634 Posts	Posted 07/25/2022 09:29 am to the CCF As stated, always put the year, denomination and mm in the heading, this is important. Also always show a picture of the complete coin. Your coin is not a DDO, it is MD. Report this Post to the Staff

Durban New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/25/2022 10:10 am Sorry it's a 1969 s and I knew it was probably to good to be true.. I will try to post some better pics of it. The whole obverse of the coin has doubling except mint mark so I had to check.. thanks for the help Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19210 Posts	Posted 07/25/2022 10:25 am Yes, it's common practice to provide full, large and sharp images of the obverse and reverse. Given the one pic posted, it looks like Machine Doubling to me. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97511 Posts	Posted 07/25/2022 11:09 am I agree - it looks like MD to me as well Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/25/2022 11:16 am Machine Doubling is very common on the 1968-1972 cents. Not the cherished DDO. Note the real hub doubling on the date and the motto? What you have is called Machine Doubling. The devices were altered after the strike by die movment. Why is this not a doubled die? A doubled die is caused by the die, not by the machine. (thus the term 'Doubled Die") A doubled die can have Machine Doubling, but Machine Doubling never makes a doubled die. It just alters the coin post strike. IE: To prove this point: Note the hub doubling on the dates of these 4 doubled dies? Now note the yellow arrows on the date and mintmarks? That is pointing to Machine Doubling on a doubled die. But note also. The date is showing Machine Doubling on this doubled die, but on the real deal, there there will be no hub doubling. Just like on these coins, the 'S' has no doubling, but the Machine Doubling shows on all of the mintmarks. Your coin is just a normal die example with Machine Doubling: Just like these examples of classic and push Machine Doubling. Edited by coop 07/25/2022 11:17 am Report this Post to the Staff
