coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/19/2023 11:34 am Note the size of the devices? The devices are thinner looking, so the die was probably polished to remove die damage on the outer part of the die. (the fields) When this happens, the reduction makes the devices thinner. Looks like what you are looking at on the top of the '7' is probably coin contact. Not a doubled die. Not Machine Doubling. (other devices would show the same affected direction) This looks like coin contact on that area of this coin. Just a spender unless you are saving copper coins. Report this Post to the Staff
