Is MD possible on two sides of a device?

If it's not then is is possibly a pressure variation in two direct strikes? Here's my example!

Looks like Don Knotts struck that one while his hand was shaking.

 

He lost his bullet in that pic so I'm sure he was!

 

Well, you've only shown one picture of one side. That picture clearly shows MD.

I can't tell you anything about the other side, but MD is definitely possible.

 

I think he means that it looks like some "doubling" like on BOTH sides of the A.

 

Okay my question wasn't is this a mint error or I would have posted more pics in the error category! But purely a question for conversation.

 

I don't understand what conversation you wish to have. You've shown a piece with clear and common machine doubling. It isn't a mint "error" so much as a "common variance associated with minting modern coins."

 

No I was thinking this was a pressure variation in double strikes! Not true doubling as in a doubled die.

 

How would this be manifested?

 

Ok sorry @physics-fan3.14 the pic in question is a 1967. So here is another pic.

 

I have run into this before myself on KHD and/or quarters. It is clearly visible on the "T" on 3 sides(the bottom of the letter) from what I can tell. I've heard that it was DDD or regular MD but in your photo it just seems too even on both sides. Hope to hear more from someone in the know.

 

Started as a simple question.

 

OK, so you've presented more pics of Machine Doubling with no coherent thought or question.

This really doesn't help us at all....

What is your question?

 

Is MD possible on two sides of a device?

 

I agree @SlipperySocks but I personally have not seen this on two sides of a device. The only reason I posted the thread. I have studied the minting process as well as error-ref.com on types of MD and don't recall reading on this. So if I missed something help me out here peeps!

 

Please read the original post!!

 

@physics-fan3.14 you really seem to be heading towards answering the question of is this a double die and that was not my question. My question was how does machine doubling happen on both sides of a device? And if this is not possible could it be a result of a pressure (the mint operator not paying attention) issue of multiple strikes? Could the pressure have been cranked up when he realized his mistake after he( mint operator) got his cup of coffee? Resulting in this strike to put in layman's terms?

 

I can live with that...

 

Soooooo as originally posted is MD possible on both sides of a device? If so please help me understand here!

 

Yes, MD is possible on 1/2/3/4 sides of devices.
