Fresh Find Valued Member United States 138 Posts	Posted 07/09/2023 06:44 am @Errers and Varietys Okay help me out with something then because there's not material taken away like normal Machine Doubling The doubling is wider than the original number seven and the doubling is very uneven around all numbers including the mint mark the mint mark does not have doubling on the bottom portion of it Machine Doubling is normally like a machine did it very precise and even including removing some of the material in the process this has no indications of any of that..

Fresh Find Valued Member United States 138 Posts	Posted 07/09/2023 07:07 am @John1 Why is it the doubling looks bubbled up instead of like a shelf and the edges and corners are rounded not indicative of a machine. Lines are very uneven thicker and thinner in different spots and no doubling on the lower part of the mint Mark. The doubling on the seven is wider than the number itself..

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 07/11/2023 08:49 am The devices have absolutely been reduced by this, so I don't know what you mean. I think you're just not looking carefully enough. Just classic MD with flat, shelf-like doubling, reduced devices, and affects both the date and mint mark, which a true doubled die would not.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8743 Posts	Posted 07/11/2023 08:59 am Fresh Find, I have marked up Wexler's listing for WDDO-054. The hub doubling is not where you think it is. READ the description in the listing, it explains it very well but I have color coded it, so you can see the MD vs the hub doubling. Wexler WDDO-054 http://doubleddie.com/452412.html As others have stated, yours is MD. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Fresh Find Valued Member United States 138 Posts	Posted 07/12/2023 07:28 am Whatever kind of doubling it is it's not material removed and shelf like you can see that it's bubbled and there's no thinning of the numbers or of the mint mark indicating material being removed from Machine Doubling and with Machine Doubling everything is even as far as the Machine Doubling goes whereas on the coin I have it's not even And I noticed I referenced the wrong wexler's doubled die. Which has very minor hub doubling and very obvious machine double due to the thinning of the letters caused by Machine Doubling as a result removing of material, in addition to the Machine Doubling removing the material evenly across each number due to the same exact movement across the coin that took place. Unless I'm missing something out of all the literature I've read and what people have said on here and CONECA Report this Post to the Staff
