Greenstang Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 That would be Die Deterioration Doubling (DDD) In Mechanical Doubling the devices would be reduced. Jfanth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKurtB Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 This type of doubling is caused by putting the coin under a USB microscope. Henri Charriere and J P M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Usually with more severe cases of die erosion doubling, there is a secondary ghost-like image surrounding the letters or numbers on all sides as is the case on this coin. True hub doubled coins produced will exhibit the secondary image to only one side or the other of the lettering and numerals as the dies were produced from a slight rotation when pressed from the hub and the secondary image will be at the same height as the the rest of the lettering and numerals on the coin, not step-like or sloped.

Henri Charriere Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Three hun'red thirty-three million people in this country, and not a one could be found who had mastered the art of simple penmanship. So now: Behold! Poor penmanship mangled by machinery. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
