Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/12/2025 10:16 pm Brings up an interesting question to ponder. Based on the method of manufacture, when would be the earliest a US coin would have been struck showing Machine Doubling? Anyone know the answer?

I would assume when a machine was first used to make coins but not sure when that would have been, not the historian you are. Without googling anything, my guess would be from China though, no clue of a time period. Look forward to the answer though, teach me. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 02/12/2025 10:51 pm Does Longacre doubling count? It looks like MD. It seems that MD became an issues after the switch to electric presses. But this is only my guess. I haven't looked at enough coins minted prior to know. Also, I don't know how the steam presses operated. Report this Post to the Staff

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 02/13/2025 08:06 am Would the answer be in the title Machine Doubling? When the first coins were made by a machine. Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 02/13/2025 09:16 am Well the first US coins were minted using a screw press. I don't see how that could create MD but it would depend on how the dies were held in place. Report this Post to the Staff
