Not to mention, it's very pretty, and in good shape as it's been sitting in a jar for just under 3 decades. I know most of you will say its PMD, but I ask why this line between the neck and hair is so specific and doesn't show up anywhere else. Also, most experts say to look for the doubling, what does it mean if most of it doens't mean anything at all? Really, I'm just curious.

This looks like Machine Doubling to me because it is shelf-like and serves to reduce the thickness of the design elements. Also, I note that there are no known DDOs for this mint/date combination: coincommunity.com/forum/pop_profile.asp?mode=display&id=40203 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95360 Posts	Posted 05/03/2024 5:58 pm When I first started I thought that MD ( Machine Doubling) was something I could retire on. But then I was still learning about coins and how they are made. It will take some time to teach your eyes to know what to look for. So on Regular Machine Doubling (on raised devices) MD will reduce the size of the device (letters, numbers, the profile) and look shelf or step like. On Incuse Machine Doubling (on recessed devices) MD will INCREASE the size of the devices and can still look step like or sometimes sloped. Collecting since 1972.
