[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 470449, member: 4350"]Hi And, This is essentially what machine doubling damage looks like on the edge. If you understand the way that the letters are added, you would know that it is virtually impossible for this to happen. A coin basically runs down a pathway that becomes more narrow until the diameter of the coin reaches the die that imparts the lettering. It's a one way trip, it goes through and that's that. The only way that true doubled lettering happens is when a bin of coins accidentally gets run through the entire process twice. When that happens, it is virtually impossible for the lettering to line up just a fraction of a millimeter away from the original lettering. A little vibration as the coin is rolling through the edge lettering machine is all it would take to cause what you see in the picture. Thanks, Bill[/QUOTE]
