Cool... Thanks! Maybe one of these days ill post something worth looking at...lol! It all looks so similar to me though...lol!
Whenever it appears flat and shelf-like, it is almost always machine doubling. Unless you see split serifs and/or the rounded shape of the intended form, it won't be a true doubled die. Chris
MDD (Machine Damaged Doubling)...I think using MDD is more appropriate, using the words Damaged Doubling tells a lot! Larry Nienaber
The only downside to using MDD is that master die doubling, another form of doubling, is also abbreviated MDD. But use whatever works best for you.
A bit off topic I have asked John Wexler the same question about 2-3 yr ago. His answer was there a few experts that want add MDD+other striking defect to a list. But this topic like all coin related issues has to go thru ANA Coneca,getting all to agree take time why I am not sure.
