[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7807033, member: 105098"]Machine doubling is a mint error, and anyone saying it isn't is missing the nuances of the term. Yes it's an error, it's just a "NAV" (No Added Value) error. Collectors do not find Machine doubling, and a whole host of other occurrences at the mint that would be technically and documentally "mint errors", as valued, and they won't pay a premium to add them to their collection, Most just will dismiss it as "not an error" rather than explain it, it is a mint error, it's just not going to get you any money above the value of the coin is all. There are even true doubled dies, that occurred on a master die and as so got passed to the working hubs, and then the working dies. The majority of that years mintage was struck with the doubling. they are so common that they fall into the "NAV" category also. The 1944 Washington quarter is like this, for all 3 mints of that year. doubled die under the nostril and under the ear of george washington on the obverse. There's also another on the 1972 Lincoln cent. there's plenty of "mint errors" that are listed in error reference catalogs that nobody finds value to them in the hobby and it doesn't add value to the price of a coin. machine Doubling is one of them. A doubled die, should be on the working die, and every coin struck with that die, has the same exact doubling. if it's one of the working hubs, it's going to be on more of the dies, and if it's on the master die, it's going to be on all the working hubs, and all the working dies. collectors like them repeatable with examples, like on a die run, or even dies made from one working hub where it would be more common than just a single working die. but when it becomes too much, then it just becomes the way they made coins that year and there's no added value to the variety. LOL With machine doubling, the die is loose or not set quite right, or it bounces on the strike, the cause varies, but it isn't on the die itself, it will vary from coin to coin on the appearance on the coins. on a "doubled die" (literally meaning the doubling is on the die), it's going to look the same for every coin struck with that die until it's retired.[/QUOTE]
