They are the same size. The devices on the left were reduced by machine damage (die movement during the strike) that reduced the devices slightly. That is what your coin has on it. But note the example on the right. That shows the devices doubled. That is not caused by the machine but the hubbing of the die made the devices doubled. Thus the term <b>doubled die</b>. Note how the overall size of the device is now a lot larger. That is what happens on a coin struck from a doubled die. So if the devices are <u>reduced</u> in size, they are called machine doubled.
