Just showing the liberty on this 1960 penny, curious if this is DD or something more? Thanks.

retouched image

I lightened up the image a bit.. its kind of dark..
It looks more like MD to me, like the left edges were pushed back into the device...

Maybe one of the experts can tell.

To me it sure looks like Die Deterioration. IMHO, definately not an expert tho. Tom

Firstly, nice picture. I tend to agree w/Stonecad on this one with MD. Especially on the far left edges. Again, lets see what the pros say.

My vote would be for machine doubling as well.

It appears to be mild MD. Maybe something that would be a hybrid of push and slide doubling.

[Amadauss]

With MD, it usually shows more of a step process, correct? With this coin, those raised marks on the IBE are different looking especially with the I, like a rounded raising of the mark, which made me think not MD. It sure looks like MD on the left side of the B looking at it but then it goes up again with that mark on top of the vertical bar. I'll post a pic of the whole coin in a little bit.

I would think ejection doubling....

I would think ejection doubling....

Just did a quick search on your answer and could not find anything ....like your posts say at the bottom, ask questions, can you explain a little more, thanks.

From Wexler's site:

"This form of doubling has been known by a number of different names over the years. It has been referred to as “ejection doubling”, “machine doubling”, “strike doubling”, “shift doubling”, and “shelf doubling”. If you see references to any of these, it is most likely mechanical doubling that is being referred to."

I think its most likely Push Doubling in which the coin is pushed or the die is pushed (take your pick) against each other deforming the edge it comes in contact with... Which is why I believe you are seeing the remnants of the original B location, it was pushed inward towards the device with enough pressure to create a rim of sorts raised aboth the surface of the device....
