IowaSwede New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 12/19/2023 02:33 am I am excited to offer my first post here, because this is just such a great resource!! I have been saving my old pennies for years, and over the past few weeks, I decided to start pulling them out and going through them with my daughters, trying to look for doubled dies, etc. And holy crap, is this ever challenging/frustrating/fun/addicting!!! Anyway, I came across this 1984P penny & I think I've found my first DD ( DDR)? It really does kind of look like a DDR, particularly on the U N S A, etc., but I certainly appreciate the fact that could be Machine Doubling, hub doubling , etc. Also, I haven't been able to find any verification of this on the registry sites (VV, Wexlers, copper coins, etc.), so it may not be anything of note. I would be particularly interested in grateful to receive any input anyone may able to provide (I'm trying to do better with my pics working with my loupe/iPhone). Thank you so much!!

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 12/19/2023 02:58 am I'll tell you Machine Doubling from a distance. Your images are far to small to for anyone to get a good read. Try and get some images that are 800x800. However to add to the MD call: doubtful you would ever find one in circulation that is not yet attributed. It happens but not often. Also from what I can see, the doubling appears shelf like and moves in the same direction. These are both affects of MD. Keep looking though, they turn up when you least expect.

IowaSwede New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 12/19/2023 04:01 am This is such great input - thank you so much!!! As a newbie, I can only understand the concept of MD v true DD (eg, 3D elevational shelving created by multiple strikes v 2D doubled width created by a single strike by a doubled forge), but I'm starting to realize that actually identifying it really does require putting in enough time to train the eye.
