HI Guys
Okay this is what I have learned in the past few days.. I hope. These coins I had found in the past and was saving...... images below. I had thought by the information I had found previously (web, books, etc.) that these were actual DD's (hub doubling) and RPM (re-punched mint marks).
Now I am fairly confident that they are only (MD) machine doubled dies. "flat shelf like apperance no solid seperation lines on serifs"
If it were not for a suggestion from clair and james to post the 2010 proof on this forum I would still be misdirected to what I have due to lack of information.
Jason what you provided "a common coin with MD could in fact be a in collar double struck coin could prove nightmarish if the wrong person is holding the coin and prone to over analysis" is absolutely true. With the dust speck of knowledge I have on the subject, I could have easily misled my family and friends.
19Lyds it was your genuine curiosity and images that really made the whole discussion come to light for me. If you had not sparked an in depth conversion on my post I feel I would still be in the shadows trying to understand what and why.
I guess one line suggestions are okay if the individual asking for advise is only out for monetary gain. But for many of us, we just want to understand more thoroughly on what we are collecting so we too can pass on the correct information for generations to come.
Again thank you all very much for your insightful knowledge.
