Spence Moderator United States 34411 Posts	Posted 02/08/2024 10:06 pm @87, when the doubling is shelf-like and serves to reduce the width of the letters, then it is Machine Doubling. MD doesn't add to the numismatic value.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96214 Posts	Posted 02/08/2024 10:24 pm This is a terrible looking Machine Doubling. Made from a very worn die. Collecting since 1972.
