<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coop, post: 1077139, member: 17656&quot;]Machine doubling takes many forms. Depending on how the machine creates it. Here is an example of how machine doubling can vary from strike to strike:</p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/Machine_Doubling_Different_from_Coin_To_Coin.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>This is classic machine doubling. These coins came from a OBW roll and there were several examples to chose from to make the images above. The marker is found in each image so they are all from the same die, just varying machine doubling each strike. </p><p>There is also what I call ejection doubling that may affect certain areas as the coin leaves the chamber. I was told this is just called machine doubling as the machine caused this to happen.</p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/Machine_Doubling_UNI_REVERSE.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The only area on this coin is on the U of UNUM. Again caused by the machine and not because of the die. The rest of the coins were normal in the roll.</p><p>Another type is like your coin where the machine doubling only affect the outer devices in a minor fashion. Again the die is not doubled, just the machine during the striking caused this to happen. All machine doubling is really damage that happened to a coin during the strike or ejection process. Not really collect able, just interesting to newbie to coin collecting. Ebay is a venue that takes advantage of this type of collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
