Yes, it's common. It's machine doubling. Nothing special at all.

 

Well ,thanks, look's like I'll just have to keep trying. Errors intrigued me when I first read about them. Thanks again, Mac

 

Shelf like, so nothing much there, but......interesting indeed.

 

It's still a bit cool. I don't remember many Peace Dollars with machine doubling being posted.

 

Die deterioration

 

Looks like MD or die deterioration.

 

Great example of the major signs of Machine Doubling. You can see the shelf-like appearance, the lack of split at the corners and the "doubling" reducing the stroke of the number instead of adding to it.

 

Good morning, many thanks for everyone's input. One of these days I'll surprise you folks. Have a blessed day, Mac

 

This is the best visual tool I've seen, it is a sketch created by Chuck Daughtrey

Well put

You never learn unless you ask the question and I learned from your question. That was a great illustration
