Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 06/01/2023 06:21 am @coin, first welcome to CCF. Second, for sure that is doubling, but since it is shelf-like and appears to be reducing the width of the devices, I think it is Machine Doubling rather than a doubled die. I know that this is different than what @jvc has said, so let's see what others think and then come to a consensus.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94925 Posts	Posted 06/01/2023 08:21 am Yes, the date is 'doubled', but not in a good way. this is, as stated just MD ( Machine Doubling) Collecting since 1972.

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 06/01/2023 09:29 am Yes to confirm it is MD not DDO. Remember key words like, shelf like, step like or reduced width of devices. Those words means it is MD. Report this Post to the Staff

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 06/01/2023 11:07 am yes, Machine Doubling, and great photo, usually takes new members awhile to get the hang of that Report this Post to the Staff
EricH Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 06/01/2023 11:52 am Machine Doubling seems to be very common for 1971-s coins, I got an entire bu roll of these in a bargain lot from my coin shop a few years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 06/01/2023 6:45 pm to the CCF and Machine Doubling. It happens in every year and mint mark. Even though it's called doubling, there is usually no premium on this. Report this Post to the Staff
