Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5611 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 12:58 pm Hello, IMO the coin shown has MD Machine Doubling. These 1970'S coins exhibited, From Slight Split Serifs to Very noticeable Strong Doubling of Digits and Letters on Both Reverses and Obverses. I Maybe wrong...... Great Eyes !!!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 2:58 pm The larger the coin, the more often Machine Doubling is found on a coin. This is a post striking issue from a loose machine. A striking event, not a doubled die. Doubled dies are only created on dies with hub doubling. Machine Doubling can alter normal and doubled dies post strike. But your coin is just a normal coin with Machine Doubling. uploaded/coop/1972-S_Silver_proof__1__SBS_MACHINE_DAMAGE_AAB.jpg[/img Note the Machine Doubling reduces the size of the devices. On a doubled die, these devices would be enlarged. This one is a JFK half Dollar DDO compared to a normal coin: Note the spread enlarges the centers of the devices? Machine Doubling removes the contour on the outside edges of the devices. One is caused by the machine the other is created on the die on each strike of this doubled die. What to do? Stopping looking at the outside edges of the devices and note the centers of the devices. Look for the spread of the devices. Try looking at attributed dies on the sites of doubled dies, then your eyes will learn what to look for, rather than looking blindly and see what you can find. Doing this, is like having a map and decide, I'm going to go this way. What happens, you don't reach your destination. Check to see first, train the eyes, and then you will know what to look for.

SaturnD51 Valued Member United States 425 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 10:40 am I have the exact coin too. There is a lot of doubling real sharp on my dollar too. I wish it was a DDO. MD it was. I still think it is a great coin and I am holding on to mine because I like it. I also found a half dollar which was doubling the same way.
