<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tim C, post: 2244871, member: 71569&quot;]I would have to disagree that the term “Machine Doubling” is over used.&nbsp; If anything, it is just the opposite.&nbsp; When searching eBay, I have <b><u>never</u></b> seen a listing of “Machine Doubling” and the coin was actually a “Doubled Die” but on the other hand I have seen too many listings for “Doubled Dies” that were only “Machine Doubling” or “Shelve Doubling” (whatever term you want to use).</p><p><br /></p><p>I have also seen coins that have both, a “Doubled Die” with evidence of “Machine Doubling” on it.&nbsp; An example of this can be seen here:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.varietyvista.com/1973SDDR003%20half.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.varietyvista.com/1973SDDR003%20half.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.varietyvista.com/1973SDDR003 half.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Once you understand what “Machine Doubling” is, you will understand that it is not a code word for “I don’t know” but will understand what part of the strike was transferred from the die versus what happened during the striking process.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
