<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hommer, post: 2396377, member: 73266&quot;]I have seen lots of machine doubling on incuse lettering of the recent series of quarters, and there is some evidence of it on this coin. That machine doubling, most always is, very near the rim and is mainly confined to the upper serifs of the elements. </p><p><br /></p><p>In trying to explain what I would think of hub doubling of incuse elements, it would almost appear as machine doubling of relief elements, or a repunched mint mark, turned wrong side out. We know machine doubling on relief elements will reduce the size, or shave metal from the element itself, leaving a thinner element with a lower relief copy or double. If I think of that, turned inside out, there would be a thinner element deep in the incuse with a higher or not as deep copy or double and is what I see on this coin, whether I&#039;m interpreting it right is a challenge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
