[QUOTE="Tin_Man_0, post: 4542330, member: 100189"]Sorry, didn't mean to offend, I only meant it as to say "I protest!" I guess I'm desensitized, I've been around riots a few times before. I have, but not many give much detail on proof coins and precisely. There doesn't appear to be great interest in errors on proof coins outside things like missing mint marks. After carefully looking at this coin and the doubling, while it appears to have the same shelf like details of machine doubling, I'm almost certain it is not. From the looks of this coin, the "machine" doubling, is in fact coming from underneath the devices. Meaning, that machine doubling isn't machine at all, it's man made. The coins being stuck twice provide for a final opportunity for misaligned strikes in the minting process. Here's a few more pics. You can see lines from yet a 3rd "doubling" strike nearly completely erased but underneath the other two images. Also, the whole coin every detail, no matter how small is doubled, right down to the creases in the jacket and curves in his ear.
