Hello I'm Brian Leonard from West Virginia. I've been collecting for years but had no education on the topic and as of resent I've been buying some things I like in bulk anyway looking forward to learning and sharing with you all. Last week I bought a coin microscope and found my 1st dlb die reverse wow was awesome anyway after searching YouTube and PCGS (NOVICE AT THIS) I can't find anyone that has a coin like mine it's a Ike 1776-1976 dollar with dlbing on reverse, have any of you heard or can direct me to find? I do plan to open a account as well with PCGS to send some things for grading once I'm confident on what to send. Thanks so much for having me and I look forward to learning and sharing.

Welcome to the forum/club. Regarding the Ike dollar, unfortunately it is most likely just machine doubling since there aren't any listings for it, but I would need some pictures to be sure.

Brian-

I'll e-mail you. Send me a picture of the Ike, front and back. And a close-up of the area in question. I'll re-post the pictures here after you send them to me.

Thanks so much . Excited to see what others have to say. Any help will be appreciated.

Unfortunately, it looks like CoinHunter was right. It looks like Machine Doubling. The doubling you're seeing is shelf like.....flat.

Wow a coin with both would be the hardest to decipher even after learning! This is why education is key = never stop learning!

Brian-

Here's a good example of Machine Doubling I found today.

This is machine ?

[HeartWith02]

Machine or mechanical doubling.
