<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ikandiggit, post: 971004, member: 16269&quot;]<span style="color: Blue">&quot;Question for the group. Why is machine doubling worthless? Because its&nbsp; too common? I know the official explanation is because it is not an&nbsp; error in the die, but it still is an official US mint error, right&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </span><p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">I understand it to be &quot;not an error&quot; because it is the result of normal progressive deterioration (wear and tear) on the die itself. The same with coins that have the effects of die deterioration. While interesting to&nbsp; look at, they, too are not errors.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">&nbsp;Cuds, retained cuds etc. are considered errors because they are the product of a die that was damaged that should have been taken out of service.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
