[Guest]

Any help to figure this one out would be appreciated. thanks for all the help - I really appreciate the insight.

Not sure what you have there? Here's a link to error-ref.com regarding Multiple Machine Doubling in one direction that's pretty interesting. But looks to me that you are seeing it inside the curve of the R and to the right of the R in two different places.

Can you get a close up of the R for us? Also, are you seeing machine doubling anywhere else? It would be helpful to have close up photos of those too.

That is very cool looking but have no clue! Somebody in the know will help with this though.


Was not trying to rhyme, just worked out that way!

You have a nice shiny 60D LD and very good photos! These shiny ones are pretty but tough on the eyes! It would be nice if this is an RPM and some recognized that die chip in the 6 and is familiar with what you are seeing on the R, and that is a possibility I guess.

Really the only places I'm seeing MD is on the O of GOD... the top of the B and R in Liberty. But I think the two things you are seeing next to the R is a die gouge or die chip. The pro guys will chime in soon.. or in the morning and give us some help!

Triple MD does happen but what I see here is mostly the reflection from the ramp along the details probably from die wear and like Viv said some of the stuff near the R is something like a gouge-chip-damage on the die. The center of the 0 might show some MD and it's got a nice chip in the 6, the center peg was almost gone on the die. It might have more MD but shiny coins are hard to capture in photos.

60 cents tend to have chipping on the dates and the dates look like they're made of tootsie roll segments.

Thank you Ed! PS383, we would need a better close up of the R to be able to tell if it's a die chip, gouge, or die damage. Your photos are really good but the shiny coin is causing glare and to be sure it would need to be zoomed in. If it is a die chip then it would be RIT, here's a link to the only 1960D LD RIT on cuds-on-coins.

Looks like regular machine doubling, The six is filled with a die chip, the R in LIBERTY is more than likely a chip also, sometimes the R is filled at the bottom and it is called a "skirted R" look at cuds on coins, hope this helps a little....................dinkyblue

If you look at the mint mark it has some MD going on, along with the date. The way I tell MD is it looks flat and shelf like instead of rounded. The coin has some nice MD and die chips and it is in nice condition. I save all of the MD coins that are in MS condition or close to it. ....................dinkyblue

Thanks.... what really thru me was the R and the 9 as it looked like 3 images. That is why i original thought it was a MD - but didn't know an MD could be combined with other things like a die chip. Thanks for the input I greatly appreciate everyone taking a moment to chime into the coin. Its a great community of people here and I do not take those sort of things for granted anymore. So thank you.

Sorry I was wrong PS383, this is a small date 1960D. Going back to look at your photos again, but I think it is a die chip next to the R.

Edit: PS383, I am going to send JC Stevens of cuds-on-coins a message and ask him to look at your photos on this thread. There's not a 60D SD "RIT" listed on cuds-on-coins, just the 60D LD I linked to above. JC is a pro at this!

Okay.. message sent to JC! We should hear from him soon!

thanks again

To me the areas around the R look like die damage... There also appears to be some on the TY??? The date looks like a normal small date with a big chip in the 6... Still a nice looking coin!!!
