    I have attached a pic of a quarter that looks like it has doubling. It is worn a bit, but the lines are distinct. Just asking the experts - thanks!

    My opinion. Machine doubling, about the heaviest I've seen.
    I don't see any splits on the letters tips. But I'm no expert.
     
  4. This is an awesome example of machine doubling. As Dockwalliper said, no splits, a good indication.

    I agree about no splits on the serifs, and that has me confused. Because mechanical doubling should produce flat, shelf like doubling - and this appears awfully rounded - at least the pics do. :confused:

    I found this in pocket change from a King Sooper's here in Colorado Springs. That is just a regular picture with a 7x-35x scope looking at it. Thanks for the input so far!

    I think this could be an example of Die Deterioration Doubling, which is why you don't see the shelf-like doubling.

    It's die deterioration doubling. The orange peel texture is also consistent with this interpretation.
