1944-S Merc Machine Doubling?

Is this mechanical doubling? The date particularly the "1" doesn't look shelf like.

    Yep....MD.

    @DIMEMAN Than this would be also correct?

  • DIMEMANDIMEMAN Posts: 22,403 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Also MD.

    @DIMEMAN That is also what I thought and here it is designated as DDO. Plus it doesnt have the characteristics in the neckline as the DDO variety for the date. Crazy!

    I don't think that is the DDO. The date does not look right.

    After comparing this coin with mine, which is stage B with clashing in front of face....this is either MD or EDS without clashing. It could have come from a DDO die and then got the MD at striking. There are varieties like this. Hope this helps.

    Not sure what you are talking about on the neck line. Do you have a pic of that?

    1944-S is Machine Doubling / Mechanical Doubling / Shelf Doubling etc. Nice dime though.
