jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1260 Posts	Posted 04/30/2023 10:51 pm I'm certainly not an expert, but it appears to be MD ( Machine Damage) or DDD ( Die Deterioration Doubling). Just my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 06:10 am Yes, step-like doubling that serves to make design elements more narrow is Machine Doubling. This is especially evident on your picture of UNUM.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 01:15 am As noted, this is Machine Doubling not a Doubled Die. The doubling is step-like and reduces the width of the devices as Spence said above. On a Doubled Die you should see rounded doubling that increases the width of the devices or can even show separation in the most extreme examples.
