Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 01/15/2025 8:45 pm That close-up pic is a really nice one @pdzl. It looks to me like mostly circulation flattening with perhaps a little bit of having been struck by a tired die. I'm not seeing the step-like doubling indicative of Machine Doubling though.
