Could this be a double die ?

I think this is probably what is referred to as MD or machine doubling where the die is loose and moves as it withdraws from the strike leaving a flat shelf-like double. True die doubling is rounded and will show notches. Look at the tops of the T's and you see doubling, but no notching. That being said, I probably don't know what I am talking about, so wait for a knowledgeable person.

 

Agreed, looks like machine doubling. Shelf like spread.

 

I know what MD looks like thats why I posted thes pictures because I haven't seen this type of MD so pronounced as this Thank You for your help .

 

im no expert but in my opinion it is

 

it looks like a DDR but i don't know either

 

I'll never know because it looks like die doubling to me and I'm always wrong so don't ask me.

 

Hahaha that s what they say about me too

 

I think you mean doubled die.
It is not a doubled die, just machine doubling. Maybe these will help




A doubled die extends or doubles the devices, machine doubling flattens the edges of devices.

 

This is what I needed thank you very much!

 

thank you that was helpfull

 

I wonder if you could look at the 55 I have posted and give me an opinion

 

I suggest you keep it because it is a nice example of MD to learn and compare to others that you find.

 

Me too. Always confusing of the two. I stopped looking for doubled dies. Hurts my eyes and never have doubled die cents.

 

I'm not sure I'm seeing it. Can you post a pic of it outside of the holder?

 

I love this web site because I always learn something new . Next I hope to learn why Trump is...

 

The tail on the last 5 makes me think it is a "Poor Man's Doubled Die"

 

Good find

 

Kentucky nailed it both coins. The 55 cent was in a recent post that said it was die deterioration doubling on that second 5...Spark
