Reno911 Valued Member United States 316 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 03:32 am @Dearborn ...when you used the words "step like" you could you have used the word "hits" or "hit", correct? I've not heard the "Step Like" before. I'm just curious. Thanks Reno Report this Post to the Staff

No, I mean just like little steps (small staircase) they are 'like steps' from the field to the top of the device. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

It was interesting. I had saved it but on copy paste but it won't come up now. Lolo anyway that my story lololo Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 3:34 pm Note that Machine Doubling reduces the size of a normal set of devices: Your coin was being altered with a push upwards. This example has a push in a downwards direction, make the devices even smaller than the normal die example. A doubled die will show enlarged height/width or notched devices: Doubled dies show spread on the devices A doubled die will show the same spread on each strike. Machine Doubling can be different on each strike or the same. But MD is never a doubled die. It can happen on a doubled die, but the MD is never part of the hub doubling. Only a doubled die can strike a doubled die coin. Report this Post to the Staff
