grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 07/02/2023 12:08 pm I think the first two are Machine Doubling (push doubling) but the third one has me confused. The third one may not be doubling at all? Help! Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19158 Posts	Posted 07/02/2023 12:35 pm I'm thinking Machine Doubling all around. Nice example. Is it showing on the date and mint mark? Report this Post to the Staff
A1agrl Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 07/02/2023 12:40 pm I think you are correct on the first two being MD. The third is very slight, but in examples I've seen, when the top of the L and I are slightly split, the error is a DD. But that is only my understand, and I suggest you seek more expert knowledge than mine. Also, in the third image, the edge of Lincoln's shoulder is doubled. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74233 Posts	Posted 07/02/2023 2:10 pm Definitely Machine Doubling. You can see how the letters are reduced in size. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

I know I am missing something though, because the third image doesn't appear to have changed in size compared to the first two and it seems that the third image is the same height . I posted it because it looked a little different than what I normally see. I am sure you guys see coins every day where a member thinks it's a double die. LOL Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/02/2023 5:07 pm Like the link shows there are a lot of doubling that gets lumped in and called Machine Doubling just to keep it simple. Report this Post to the Staff
MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 07/02/2023 5:12 pm All the doubling looks flat and shelf like indicating Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5774 Posts	Posted 07/02/2023 6:26 pm It all looks like MD to me as well. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
