kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 12/12/2023 1:13 pm I believe proof coins are struck more than once, so possibly an artifact of that? Sort of like MD except from a deliberate second strike. Just thinking out loud. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/12/2023 1:36 pm Proof coins are struck more than once but the dies can still become loose at any time and bounce. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 12/12/2023 2:58 pm Quote: I believe proof coins are struck more than once, so possibly an artifact of that? That's immediately where my mind went. The doubling has a rather plump, rounded quality to be MD. Although that could also be from light gleam and not metal shape. The doubling does, however, bear a passing resemblance to the true DDO on the 1999-S Pennsylvania State Quarter proof: http://www.varietyvista.com/09c%20W...99S%20PA.htm One thought would be to turn the coin the other direction and a slight angle, to evaluate the height of the doubling compared to the height of the device. It's tough to get a sense of relative size because the metal is so shiny. Edited by Brandmeister 12/12/2023 3:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 12/12/2023 3:01 pm Wait, are those letters raised or incuse? If they are incuse, it's almost certainly incuse MD. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 12/12/2023 4:28 pm Yes this is incused Machine Doubling. Incused MD will make the devises look bigger, just the opposant of reg MD. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 12/12/2023 5:06 pm Even though I now can see that the letters are incuse, my brain insists that those shiny letters on the matte surface must be raised! Report this Post to the Staff
kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 12/12/2023 5:36 pm The Shiny letters, are raised, I believe. Report this Post to the Staff

kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 12/12/2023 9:01 pm Huh.... your right. I had to look at that coin again at multiple angles trying to make my eyes see the letters incuse. Pretty good optical illusion. Thanks guys, appreciate the help on this one Edited by kurdlezuit 12/12/2023 9:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
