2022 LC : First Post Ever - thank you for being patient

[Fairfaxthunder]

Hello -

Still working my way through the machine/DD article by Minterrors but came across this and would appreciate feedback. I am very new and not sure what I am looking at, although based on what little I know I would think machine doubling. The date is the most obvious especially with the doubled "2's", "Liberty" looks to have post mint damage on the "B", but the "G" in God has a little doubling as well. Thank you for your help. Will work on the quality of pics. Admittedly these are not the best.

Welcome aboard. Photos are decent, so that is a good thing.
we have severe weather close so i will look this over later.

The machine doubling is the letters, numbers or items that has damage done to it. It is usually not at the same height. Some of the devices ( numbers, letters, items) will be at different heights, sort of step-like. It can look like ragged, jagged in nature as well.

For doubled dies, PRIOR to 1996, think of it this way. For the working dies, one image was pressed ontop of another, but slightly off axis.

The amount of pressure is close to the same, so the images are close to the same height. You may see a thin cookie cutter line that may indicate where one impression was pressed on top of another.

You can Google... 1955 doubled die, 1969-S doubled die and 1972 doubled die, die 1 to see some extreme versions of doubled die obverses (DDO's).

Thank you very much - yes that's what I thought..simple machine doubling. The last "2" in "2022" however was what was weird to me as the top of the 2 seems to suggested doubling on two sides. But thank you very much.
