rlu7732 Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 02/24/2025 08:41 am I should have said I'm not asking if it's doubled, but rather what causes the letters to not fully form? The 1st pic is of my coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 6975 Posts	Posted 02/26/2025 3:56 pm You asked about your first picture. This is also a form of Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
rlu7732 Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 02/26/2025 6:44 pm Yeah, but more information on to the process of how it's caused, but someone pointed this out in another thread. Report this Post to the Staff
