Hi, machine doubling. Thanks, Bill
I don't think it will be a die chip. I think it is a spot of corrosion under the copper plating.
Machine doubling is damage. It even used to be called machine doubling damage until many professionals pointed out that that was redundant. We...
Hi, What is visible is machine doubling although larger pictures would help. I do not see any signs of it being a doubled die, however. Thanks,...
Sorry but it is just a damaged D or a damaged punch. It's not an RPM.
Hi, Those that suggest the spooning scenario are probably right. In any case, the coin is damaged. One comment on an earlier post. 1964 and...
Hi, Although it has become more difficult, errors and die varieties can be found in rolls of coins all the time. The difficulty in determining...

Twiggs, You can take any letter on a coin and if it is damaged with metal moved, any letter can look alike any other letter. Do a search on...
If no one else mentioned it, This is pure guesswork and there really is no evidence on the coin to support it. A die clash is when two dies come...
Actually, it could be bogus. I don't like the look of the clip and I don't like the look of the rim opposite the clip. I wouldn't say with 100%...
One point that seems to have been missed is that it was originally labeled incorrectly. What does that say about the grader's ability to identify...
That is Nice!!
Mike notes this exception as not being an error "(with the possible exception of ejection impact doubling)".....fancy wording for machine...
After 1909, dates were modeled on the hubs, so they were raised on the hubs then transfered to the dies. There were no backward punches used.
Hi, It is machine doubling on a proof. I see no evidence that the coin is a doubled die. Thanks, Bill
