Thanks Ben and your staff, who sometimes don't get their deserved credit, for taking the time to post the EDUCATIONAL TH-cam videos for the beginning to experienced collectors.
THANK YOU for this. While other coin TH-camrs are posting videos that tell you you'll lose all your money unless you sell ALL your other investments and put that and your kid's milk money in coins (which for them is usually junk silver), Ben gives us REAL numismatic education
Funny, I’ve been getting in to vams with doubling, die cracks, and unusual strikes for the past few weeks. I got an elikliv scope, and went down the rabbit hole. How timely this video is to help me go even deeper down this hole… amazing stuff. Thank you Ben. You are, by a long shot, my favorite numismatist on this earth. I’ll visit your shop one day soon.
Doubled with an “ed” Die is when the die that struck the coin was doubled when it was made…. Machine is a vibration or action that caused the slight variation. I also learned a long time ago that a tell tale sign (most of the time) is you cannot see machine doubling from every angle of the coin but a true Doubled Die is visibility from every angle… This is a great video and very helpful. I will be sharing…. Thank so much!
Thank you SO much! This was one of the BEST coin videos I've seen! You helped me understand exactly what I needed. I'm grateful for your time! Appreciated!❤🤗
Hi Ben. I've never tried to comment before. But I could never pay extra for something that I needed a microscope to see. John Schimon. The silver stacker. 😊
Thanks. I was just trying to look this up a couple days ago. I went through my 40% halfs and found a bunch of machine doubled rev. Guess it was common on the half dollars. The pic is what i needed. Lol
Hi, Ben. I'm not interested if I can't see the doubling without a magnifying glass. BTW, I went to a gender reveal party yesterday and was the only one who showed up naked.
I have honestly found that the less is more when it comes to magnification. When I first began looking for varieties, I wanted as much magnification as possible, but now anything more than 10x is usually unnecessary. Just my personal experience.
I have a dramatic machine doubled 5oz. Wyoming quarter. It's incused of course and shifted half the width of the lettering and the Buffalo, clouds, etc. Can machine doubling at this level have a premium value? Wish I could show you my pictures.
Because it is a random event. I will give you an exemple using canadian 2 dollars. There is lettering on the edge made during the blank making process. Then the coin is struck, the orientation of the letters compared to the obverse is random, so althoug some people collect the A and B orientation, it won't bring value and is not a variety. A die variety must happen at the level of the die or hub, every coin made by that specific die/hub having that variety. Machine doubling is interesting/fun, but it happens for every striking runs, it is a random event during the minting process, not a "variation" of the tooling.
@@benoitlabrecque4513 That pretty much explains that. But they can and sometimes are very interesting. I have a couple that are just a bit different then others I've seen. Still aren't worth any more, but are cool to me. ✌
Thanks @@benoitlabrecque4513 ! It still seems odd to me that a random event that causes a difference is seen as boring unless it is repeatable and see by others as well. Coin collecting can be confusing. haha Thanks again.
Franklin half DDRs are underappreciated, and you can get most of them cheap. The 1961 proof DDR has very wide doubling and is worth thousands, but there are other DDRs in the series that you can see without a loupe and they're available for under $50.
Gee Ben, I have bad eyesight and I have a hard enough time just looking at coins without looking for DDO's etc. I have a 10x and 30x and even then it is difficult to see. Then, by you showing these minute DDO's -how many coins that have been graded as "regular" strikes may be DDO's - So the question is - Can you cherry-ick graded coins???? I noticed some individuals that have a USB microscope that have like 5 inch screens. They aren't that expensive - decent ones under $200.00 - but wouldn't viewing be easier to spot DDO's and other errors and varieties? Best Wishes
Yeah Michael, second video in a row that would have benefited from a scope. I’ve got a brand new one in a box I’ll send to Ben to make good videos like this one even better.
@@TiHerr74 Hi Tim, to heck with Ben, send it to me as I have poor eyesight. - just kidding but where did you get it? I Really could use one. I can see double mint marks or other errors even with a 10x or 30x. But, I am surprised that Ben hasn't gotten one. Best wishes Tim - Have a great day.
@@michaelgoodspeed846 - thanks Michael! I think I bought it from Amazon after reading some reviews. I'm not home right now but I will get back to you with the brand and model.
Double strike and double die would have made INFINITELY more sense as terms than machine doubling and hub doubling which I had to look up because this didn't make any sense.
I really like some double die coins but I prefer the ones I can actually see with my old eyes.
Thanks Ben and your staff, who sometimes don't get their deserved credit, for taking the time to post the EDUCATIONAL TH-cam videos for the beginning to experienced collectors.
Seriously, the best explanation on the differences with machine doubling vs hub doubling I've come across. I'm really glad I caught this one today.

Thank you. That was extremely helpful. I now have a good grasp on what to look for. And thank you to the person that made that drawing. Pure gold. 💯👍✌

Thanks Ben. That drawing is great. This is the best tutorial on doubling I have seen. Cheers!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video! It’s very helpful and well explained.
Super interesting and educational. Thanks Ben.
This is an excellent breakdown. Thank you!
Thank you SO much! This was one of the BEST coin videos I've seen! You helped me understand exactly what I needed. I'm grateful for your time! Appreciated!❤🤗
Thank you. Very helpful.
Used to chunk my MD coins back in the bag, but now, they sell for small premiums. Of $4-10 each.
Thank you so much!
Great job Thank you!

See you got first!!!! Gender reveal party of one - interesting@#$%&! So every time I shower that counts??? LOL
So that was you. LOL!
Crazy how MD coins are selling for ridiculous prices on ebay; especially the 1969-S!
That drawing is very helpful thank you 👍
Thanks man you did a really good job with this video
I have honestly found that the less is more when it comes to magnification. When I first began looking for varieties, I wanted as much magnification as possible, but now anything more than 10x is usually unnecessary. Just my personal experience.
Also A LOT of Proof Coins have machine doubling (because they're struck twice)
Nice diagram!❤️❤️❤️

Why is it that machine doubling is not valued and also not considered an error? I find them just as interesting personally.
Because it is a random event. I will give you an exemple using canadian 2 dollars. There is lettering on the edge made during the blank making process. Then the coin is struck, the orientation of the letters compared to the obverse is random, so althoug some people collect the A and B orientation, it won't bring value and is not a variety.

Am so glad 😀 u didn’t draw it urself. Thank you anyways. Appreciate whatu do
Confusing always.
Once you‘ve looked at a few hundred coins; the difference is pretty easy to differentiate.
Is it possible to machine double from for deterioration that looks like three layers instead of just two ?
Gee Ben, I have bad eyesight and I have a hard enough time just looking at coins without looking for DDO's etc. I have a 10x and 30x and even then it is difficult to see.
