hello everyone

[Santiaga]

Hello, my name is Jamie, I have had fun searching and collecting for a few years, always trying to learn more. I will ask lots of questions... I love searching for error and variety. currently I am studying a 1963-D possible doubling but am not seasoned enough to know a real difference in the types of doubling. I welcome any advice, help, comments and constructive criticism. thanks so much! Hopefully my first photo loads...please let me know if photo quality is okay.

Welcome to the LCF... Excellent pic for a first post... What I see on the lips and the throat area is called MD (Machine Doubling)... Here is the definition from our Glossary -

Machine Doubling (Also Machine Damage Doubling, or Strike Doubling): This occurs when a loose die bounces (push-type machine doubling) after the initial strike and hits the planchetagain in a slightly offset position, flattening a portion of an already struck device, creating a “shelf-like” doubling effect that cuts into the normal size of the device. This is often misconstrued as a doubled die by novices, but is common and essentially worthless. Sometimes the die will “slide” rather than bounce, creating a smeared look to the devices. (slide-type machine doubling). Ejection doubling is another form of machine doubling where the coin “sticks” to the anvil die when being ejected from the striking chamber. In addition to the examples below, please see Jason Cuvelier’s excellent tutorial Here.












Lots of knowledgeable folks here... Looking forward to your posts!!!

Welcome to the LCF Jamie! Very nice photo! There are a few different class doubled dies for '63. This is my favorite place to look at awesome photos of varieties. https://coppercoins.com/advsearch.php

Thanks so much for the warm welcomes... And the input.
What about the "In God We Trust" is this an example of post strike damage?
