Looks like a combination of die fatigue doubling and what we woukld call mechanical doubling.

Thanks Bill

I tried posting another pic here by clicking "reply" but it didn't make it. Don't know why.
Anyway it did come through when I started another thread called 1987 Mexican 500 Peso.
Thanks Bill.

 

Victor:
Very interesting, especially since the doubling is not complete.
Apparently a double die that the Mexican mint decided to 'clean up' and use the die anyway (to save money).

 

I just saw your other posting.
In that one it definitely looks like machine doubling.

 

It's a weird one for sure. I have a bunch of older Kennedy halfs with machine doubling but this Mexican coin is different.
Some how I guess I can't add more photos to my existing threads. ??
There are 2 more pics I would like to post. So I guess I'll start new threads to get them on here.
The titles will be Mex #3 and Mex#4.

 

Mex #3

 

mex#4

Mex #4

 

I couldn't get the picture on #3, but here especially on the top right corners of the letters, I say die detoriation (or however you spell it).
Look at the U N & I top right corners.

(My spelling is so bad that even Word Perfect's suggestions don't help.)

 

Victor:
Now you are driving me nuts.
(Not that it takes a lot).
The O & the S look pretty good, altho they may still be shelf doubling.
Hard to tell.

 

Relax. We have padded rooms available.

 

Hi,

Yep, the picture shows some characteristics of mechanical, flat, shelflike, doubling. And...You are welcome!!!

Thanks,
Bill
