Simply enlarging an already bad photo does not help. You need to take a very clear, close-up image. Chris
I do not see any raised area, rather a somewhat flattened one. I would say MDD or whatever they call MDD on single squeeze die making these days.
I get confused with some of these State Quarters that are considered doubled. As this looks somewhat flat and yet raised they have some that they say are doubled that look similar. A good example for my question would be the Wyoming DDR 001 through DDR 20's on Wexlers. Looking at these I would have said MD. Very confused hope you guys can help. Also sorry for asking this on this thread, but I am doing it as it looks similar to the type of DDR for others.
like briboy said there are other examples of coins that are close to this. I understand the concept of md and I guess I'm confused as well.I guess I just don't understand how a solid die can move in 1 spot in the middle of the coin and not anywhere else. I also have a dime somewhere that is like this on the side of the torch.I'm still new at this and have learned a lot from the experts here.I know its hard to tell in the close up pic but it looks to me to be rounded since at the top middle of the pic it kinda looks like its round right before the void. I'm just trying to answer if it's round or flat. It looks like a cut wire for lack of a better example.
FYI just so you know, you have responses from the some of the best guys here, I am still learning as you. This is why I asked the question and gave the examples. If nobody said it before, welcome to the site!!!!!!!!
ty I have learned a lot from the people here and have been reading a lot trying to learn but this md v dd is very confusing
To be a doubled die, the doubling has to be on the working die before the strike. Any action , snap , crackle, pop that causes movement and a differing appearing image on the coin that is not on the die is MDD. With the old multiple hubbing process, larger areas of the die could be doubled. With the new single squeeze die making, during the single "hubbing" , there would be movement due to pressure as the single squeeze occurred, resulting in extra Lincoln thumbs, logs, etc. on the working die and thus producing doubled working dies of minor ( very minor in my opinion)doubled dies on the coin image. Here is a more in depth explanation ( starting midway down. http://www.doubleddie.com/58222.html
yes that is a great site I have been reading a lot about the process and I understand what the difference is but in trying to answer Chris's question to me it looks more round than flat and while it is minor so is the Wyoming error. I'm in no way trying to argue I'm just trying to learn.I posted this because it is different than any of the other ones I have seen is it md yes it's more than likely but is it different yes is it of value probably not but it is different and I was doing my best to show and answer Chris's question
