I dont see any markers as well. What do you guys think. Edited by Shadowg909 04/09/2009 9:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 04/09/2009 12:51 am Sorry, that's Machine Doubling. Notice how the doubling is flattened down from the shape of the normal digits...a classic signal that you have Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 04/09/2009 03:17 am Shadow, I think you meant to use DDO- doubled die obverse- rather than DO which I guess would be double obverse or die observe. DDO being the appropriate terminology. Maybe you already know that and it was just a typo and in that case you can forget about my note here. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/09/2009 6:13 pm Dates, an interesting area for Machine Doubling. Here is something interesting. In a roll I found many machine doubled Cents in a bank roll. So what? They provide something that we can learn. I noticed on several of them the doubling damage was different from coin to coin. Its not a die issue, but a striking issue. I thought others may enjoy this. Note the die scratches between the 1&9 and to the mint mark. They are all from the same die, but different because of the die movement during striking. Report this Post to the Staff
