Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 11/20/2010 2:50 pm Cannot really see it, but it is probably MD. Definitely not the big one.If the doubling you see is very flat...that is MD. Report this Post to the Staff
cdn44fan Valued Member Canada 221 Posts	Posted 11/20/2010 3:06 pm Ya, tried for an hour to get a good pic, but thanks Maineman750 and do you mean by MD , it's minimal doubling? Report this Post to the Staff
PearlGem New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 11/20/2010 3:57 pm MD= Machine Doubling. Occurs when the coins shifts as it is being STAMPED (I can't think of the correct term- can someone help me out that?) MD has a flat image. Where as DD (doubled die) the doubled image is separated. Nice examples of DD is the 1955, 1969S, 1983P DDR (Doubled Die Reverse) Lincoln Cent. Also look at the 1982P DDO (Doubled Die Obverse. That one is not as extreme but it shows nice separation images in IN GOD WE TRUST. coppercoins.com has nice examples of these. I hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/20/2010 10:06 pm Coins are struck, stamps are stamped. LOL When what appears in hand if the doubling is minor, most of the time an image won't capture it. Sometimes it is just a lighting issue. When you turn the coin a partial turn it goes away. If it is really that minor, then it probably won't get listed and probably won't get a premium. With the arrows on the date and the mint mark in the same direction it is a sure indicator of a machine doubled example. Report this Post to the Staff
