[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 718089, member: 4350"]jcuve has it right for starters, Machine doubling does not have to effect everything the same way. In the case of your coin, look at the top of the 1 and the top of the 9 in the date. They are both doubled to use your directions to the north of the digits. That's the same direction that you say your S is doubled. The next thing is since the die moved in one direction (you call it north south), you will get doubling on the right side of the details on the date. Although you don't see it yet, the doubling is consistent based upon the direction of the damage. Outside right of the 1, outside loop of the 9, inside loop of the 6 and again, outside loop of the 9. So what you see as east/ west doubling on the date was caused by the same thing as the north /south appearance on the S. It is classic, flat, shelf-like doubling that tells us it is machine doubled. There is no evidence of die deterioration doubling on that date or the fields of the coin. AND... there is no die doubling at all. Thanks, Bill O'[/QUOTE]
