It's very important to have in the title. * Came across a good example of Machine Doubling (Pretty certain?) that I could see without magnification. There also seems to be a smooth patch that obscures the "o" in "of" on the reverse of the coin that looks like Die Deterioration? Or is that some kind of abrasion? I know these things don't make the coin worth anything, my purpose with this post is more just to verify if I'm identifying these things correctly :) With Machine Doubling, what I should be looking for is a flat, shelf-like appearance that doesn't follow the contours of the design as opposed to a true doubled die that follows the contours of the design?

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/12/2023 11:35 am In your 1st pic looks like zinc showing but I think that is glare. Looks like MD, and the smooth patch is a common weak area caused by the metal being used up on the opposite side of the coin. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

That makes total sense because I've noticed similar wear in the same place on a lot of pennies from different years. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95630 Posts	Posted 09/12/2023 5:45 pm agreed, the bust is a huge metal hog, and didn't have enough to fully strike up the reverse. Collecting since 1972.

donnie59 Pillar of the Community United States 781 Posts	Posted 09/12/2023 8:34 pm I've often wondered why that was such a common weak strike point on Lincolns. Report this Post to the Staff
