ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 04/20/2011 6:04 pm This is a small group of cents that have doubling one or more of the digits. Some of these are listed in Zoell's as recut or doubled dies. In my opinion these are machine doubling- flat shelf-like and appear, in some cases, on other elements of the design: Report this Post to the Staff

Danester Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 04/20/2011 6:18 pm I agree with you. These are all Machine Doubling - flat shelf-like doubling and not a Doubled-Die or RPD. The Danester Report this Post to the Staff
Danester Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 04/20/2011 6:35 pm To add - many times this Machine Doubling (mechanical vibration) takes place at the beginning of a die run before the coining press is "tighten-down". I've seen (in hand) 3 of the five (5) known Mint State examples of the well known 1916/1916 5c Buffalo nickel Double Die Obverse. One of the examples in addition to Die-Doubling show a good amount of Machine Doubling - it's a wild visual vibration! The Danester Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 10:29 am Very nice. There are tons more as well throughout the George VI years. I am going to go pout now, because you have some that I have been hunting for well over 5 years now (e.g. 1938, 1955)!

Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 12:14 pm I admit I'm not an error searcher but I'm curious, I have a number of rolls from these years and no time to deal with them. Part of it is, I just can't see these types of things without a magnifying glass and as much as I like the big lighted one on my desk it's painful to deal with the thing too long. Maybe dropping the cents on the scanner bed and doing one large massive scan for a bed full would be a better approach - then I could see them on the big monitor at high res.

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 04/28/2011 2:19 pm Nice group! If these are Machine Doubling, I would think they're not restricted to specific dates, and they vary from coin to coin. Report this Post to the Staff
ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 04/28/2011 4:56 pm I have duplicates of almost all of the dates which, in my mind makes them pretty common. Report this Post to the Staff
cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 04/28/2011 6:03 pm I love those coins. What about triple MDD, is that the same? Is it more rare? Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/28/2011 6:31 pm Machine tripling has roughly the same appearance but tends to look quite dramatic and is not nearly as common as Machine Doubling. A Jefferson nickel with machine tripling was just posted a few days ago- https://goccf.com/t/86755 Report this Post to the Staff
