[QUOTE="RobRobyn, post: 2244858, member: 72090"]Just a general observation: Machine Doubling is such a joke of a misnomer. I had to test my theory and see how people follow in herds and use "MD" constantly when looking at coins. A while back, I sent images off a guys site who was selling Doubled Dies... a well known fella EVERYONE knows. I sent those images to him, the site owner, and I asked if he was interested. He immediately threw the "MD" line at me. [I][B]"Nope....those are Machine doubled....considered damage...."[/B][/I] the whole enchilada folks use. [B][I]Then I told him it was HIS OWN coin he said was a [URL='http://www.coincommunity.com/dictionary/coins_d.asp?define=DDO']DDO[/URL] on his site[/I][/B]. LOL. Boy did he squirm!! Yes, MD exists, but I think MD is a code word for "I don't know" sometimes, and using it makes people feel special or prevent over-population of a coin they own or are selling. The industry might need to take a look at the definition and usage. Just my first-hand on the ground/in the trenches experience.[/QUOTE]
