Dick, that's a precise description of MD, and helps distinguish from what I'm observing in the 1940RE picture above. To your point, look at the bases of the 1,9,4--where the re-engraving is wider than the original digit. This is simply impossible with MD. There is also the matter of the direction and offset distance, inconsistent with MD too. Report this Post to the Staff
bosox Pillar of the Community United States 1352 Posts	Posted 12/22/2009 5:41 pm Consider me still a skeptic. In the Stanton article (see the link above) it shows strike (or machine) doubling wider than the letters, wrapped around the corners of the letters, and present on some letters and not others. In fact, the close resemblence of what I have seen on the 1940 and 1941 NF cents with his photos first made me think that Strike Doubling might be the cause. Again, I don't know for sure that Strike Doubling is the answer, but I respectfully remain skeptical that these letters were re-punched or re-engraved. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J.

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 12/22/2009 9:18 pm Skeptical is good. And certainly I need to find a definitive argument behind the attribution as RE--or not. In the meantime--without being that definitive--I will do a little analysis of my particular coin, and how these details support MD or re-engraving.
