scotty11 Pillar of the Community United States 1042 Posts	Posted 04/01/2010 10:49 pm Long story short...I'm bored. I ran out of cents to search, so I've been going through some of my fathers coins. I ran across this 1946-D Washington. Is this a common error? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/02/2010 3:37 pm I appears that it is Machine Doubling. Look at the upper left on the LL on Dollar. It appears like the metal was pushed instead of being wider that a RPM (Re-Punched-Mint mark) should have. Check other devices on the coin to see if there is more Machine Doubling on either side.

I do not own a microscope...the close-up was taken with my Sony Cybershot 6.0 in my right hand, and a 30x loupe in my left. Here's a few more of the mm...I haven't cropped or resized them, but I'm sure that photobucket resized them a bit during the upload. To be honest, I'm actually pretty darned proud of these pics. It's the first time I've used the loupe with my pocket cam... Report this Post to the Staff

j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 04/02/2010 11:31 pm Nice pictures, Scotty....because the top serif becomes/is integrated with both sectors of the "D," I, too, suspect it's not a RPM. However; I'm no expert and, to be honest, I'm just on this side of the "not a RPM" fence. So, now you have two opinions: coop's, far more experienced than mine; and mine. That is Machine Doubling on the "R." Thanks for the most excellent pictures. Jim Edited by j_h_s 04/03/2010 08:31 am Report this Post to the Staff
scotty11 Pillar of the Community United States 1042 Posts	Posted 04/03/2010 11:06 am I see it very clear now. Thanks folks. The doubling shows up really well in the #2 photo of my second post. Thanks again for the help. Report this Post to the Staff
