allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 03/26/2025 6:06 pm Here is a 1961 P LMC with an example of Machine Doubling on the obverse and the reverse. It has all the ear marks including shelf like appearance with no notching of the script. I spent an hour looking at the internet and this had me spell bound trying to figure out if this was a DDO or not! I finally came to the conclusion it was MD after looking at 1961's with MD. So I took some pics (sorry about the number of pics) and hopefully it might help someone with my weak point identifying DDO's. Regards to all! Report this Post to the Staff

So no, I'm not seeing MD. Under magnification you will see all sorts of things. Report this Post to the Staff
