Any suggestions?

I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

    I think this happens frequently on the SAE's for whatever reason.

    Here's a 2007 proof:

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    what is the difference? i know a newbie question, but i am guessing the die is fine and it was struck twice or what?
  • Shelf/Strike/Machine doubling occurs after initial strike due to shifting of coin/die following initial strike or during ejection of coin.

    Common finding but rarely of any value.

    Most of the proof silver eagles look like that. No extra value, but they look image

    If the coin shifts, wouldn't everything be doubled ?

    Machine doubling often shows only on some areas on the coin.

    You're right, machine doubled coins got a second kiss from a normal die.

    Collecting my Thoughts: Understanding Machine Doubling Damage

    Alan Herbert - April 29, 1999

    Machine doubling damage (MDD) has been a topic that I have researched and written about for close to 30 years. Curiously it is a topic that has been virtually impossible to "sell" to the collectors and dealers. Since it affects world coins, it will be this week's topic.

    Anyone who has looked closely at a quantity of coins has seen it. It's the most common form of doubling found on coins. It has appeared under a laundry list of names, such as "shift," "micro-doubling," "double die," (Not doubled die), "strike doubling" and most recently as MDD.

    Shelf (or machine) doubling... but for those first observing it, it can sure get the adrenaline flowing. Cheers, RickO
