<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1109884, member: 18157&quot;]I just got my February 21st edition of Coin World and on page #74, there&#039;s an interesting article on &quot;Lazer Doubling&quot;. They don&#039;t call it that, but it gives the &quot;appearance&quot; of doubling so I call it that.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Once the die is polished, a laser is then used to make the pock-marked finish that is the new proof &quot;frosting&quot;. They show a 2007 Adams Prez proof dollar that was made from a die prepared with a misaligned laser. The pock-marks are shifted to the right, creating a doubled appearance.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As near as I can tell from the pictures, the OPs coin appears to be &quot;machine doubled&quot; (MD) v.s. &quot;Laser Doubled&quot; (LD) so the article likely doesn&#039;t apply...but I thought it was interesting enough to share.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Back to machine doubling...here&#039;s a question I had that I hope someone can answer...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>I&#039;ve looked at quite a few coins, both business strike and proof. I&#039;ve seen many MD business strike coins, but I don&#039;t ever recall seeing a MD proof coin. Has anyone else ever seen one?</b> ...other than the OPs coin, that is.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks! :bow:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
