Is there any machine doubling to beat this?

Here is a 1937 D Buffalo Nickel with extreme machine doubling. I've not seen any with this strong a feature. Show me a better one.

    That's a good one, I have a proof silver Ike somewhere that the reverse is pretty good but not like that

    It is a cool coin in that the extreme MD is very localized.
    Look at the whole coin

    You would probably need to look at some early European thalers struck on a screw press to beat that amount of offset.

    Try this one - a 1909-O half eagle:

    There is also a 1921 Peace dollar with strongly doubled profile and left-obverse lettering.

    Besides MD, there are a few actual doubled dies found on our incuse coins. I think I recall at least one of the dates in the $2 1/2 series but I'm not going to post anything that may be in error.

    I have a 2003D Sac that has nice doubling, but not that strong. I have saved it cause I thought it unusual with modern minting practices.

    Yes. There are a few $5 and $2.50 Indian doubled dies, but the mechanical doubling pictured is visually more dramatic. :)

    Isn't it funny how one area can be like that and the rest of the coin is normal! How does that happen! Doesn't the WHOLE coin have to move at the same time!!

    I had an unc 1873 shield nickel with dramatic machine doubling and a minor rpd that howards graciously attributed and photographed for me, but I sold it and misplaced the photo.

    I think you have me beat, Jim. But the entire obverse of the stellar 16-d has machine doubling.
    Great thread idea B)

    Yes. There are a few $5 and $2.50 Indian doubled dies, but the mechanical doubling pictured is visually more dramatic. :)

    Helped by the fact that on the incused design elements, when distinguishing between strike doubling and die doubling, the rules about split serifs, notched corners, and smashed, shelf-like doubling are reversed from what we're used to on raised design elements.
