Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 02/18/2011 3:54 pm I would lean toward Die Deterioration on that one. Let's see what DVCollector says. The flattening encompasses the devices rather than the straight directional effect of MD. But, I'm new to the world scene, so don't hold me to that diagnosis. Hope that helps!

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 02/18/2011 6:43 pm That's dramatic--it would get my attention too. The pics fit to what I know about Machine Doubling: flat, shelf-like, without any notching, and cut into the letters vs. thickened. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm constantly corrected in non-US forums for taking our language there - tread lightly! On the coin above, look at the line to the right of the 2. Notice how the "MD" is to the left and above it/ That's why I'm thinking deterioration. Most MD I've seen is a one-time directional event (except in the most extreme die bounce cases).

Sander Pillar of the Community Netherlands 561 Posts	Posted 02/18/2011 6:49 pm I was almost certain that it was "MD", otherwise I had post this one in Scooby Due's topic "doubled dies of the world".. I'm a rookie in the world called numismatic.. Edited by Sander 02/18/2011 6:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 02/18/2011 7:36 pm Scooby I think there's some die wear on the 2 as well. Report this Post to the Staff
