Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 10/23/2009 5:35 pm This one caught my eye. Upon closer inspection I found doubling all over the reverse legends. I know there is a rare obverse double die variety and am wondering if this is something similar on the opposite side? Anyone aware of what it may be worth in this condition? Thanks! =) Below: Doubling at tips of you and N, and under the bar in N. Below: Doubling in tip of T and Top tip of S. Edited by Numismat 10/23/2009 5:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 10/23/2009 9:15 pm Thanks, I studied some large pictures of the DDO variety, the doubling has exactly the same shelving look. Is that possibly also really Machine Doubling then? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/24/2009 5:35 pm Machine Doubling can happen even on doubled dies. It usually is distracting though. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 10/24/2009 9:51 pm Unfortunately, you are incorrect about the doubled die obverse which has nice doubling when you know what to look for. What does not show well in the pictures of the 1976 D obverse DDO is the depth involved with both hubbings. The lettering is duplicated on the DDO whereas on your coin, the lettering is "smooshed" so to speak with the letters actually being misshapen and damaged. The reverse that you showed is classic Machine Doubling. Thanks, Bill Edited by foundinrolls 10/24/2009 9:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
