juniorloc34 Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 02/18/2024 6:43 pm I found this 1973 half dollar in some change. I was just wondering if this was a good showing of a double die. Thank you all for your time and help. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/18/2024 8:50 pm Yes exactly, shelf-like doubling that serves to reduce the width of the letters is going to Machine Doubling. No premium for this, but yours is a nice example.
