Found a Doubled Die 25¢ that paddyman98 would approve of . . .

@paddyman98

The "2" of the 25¢ was definitely struck into the die twice.

This is what a "doubled die" should look like.

Okay, so if I Die twice then that's Doubled Die? Okay, not so funny. How about it being a Tu Tu?

 

No

True doubled die varieties have absolutely nothing at all to do with a coin being struck twice. It's a doubled die because of hub doubling to create the die itself.

That's not a doubled die variety.

Sorry

 

That is exactly what this is. The 2 was impressed into the die offset, then repunched. Every token has this doubling that i have seen. I believe it to be in the die, not a double struck planchet.

It's a Patrick Mint token. Most of his early specialized dies exhibit individually punched letters. I believe the value was struck into the die twice with the 2 getting the bulk of the offset. I can post photos of the whole token in the morrow . . .

I read your first post incorrectly. I thought you had stated that it was struck onto the coin twice
Hence my response. I had a long rough day at work yesterday.

Can you post full pictures of both sides.
I can't find it in Numista.

Interesting

 

Numista's catalogue is rather lacking when it comes to exonumia.

Neat.. and @ZoidMeister is mentioned on that page!

Thanks to both of you for sharing. I will be more careful in reading posts

 

The reason why TokenCatalog is the most complete token database is because anyone can make contributions!

@ZoidMeister added the information himself.




He also created listings for @lordmarcovan's exonumia:

And?

 

My "reputation" precedes me . . . . . . .

Better photos than the compressed JPG's on Token Catalog . . . . .

I've been busily adding random things to TC.

Even more when you get outside of the US.

Not that it matters but I am still pondering the issue. Is this token a doubled die or a RPV (Repunched Value) After-all RPMs and RPDs are not classified as doubled dies.

 

Good point. Definitely repunched.

I think it is just dead-dead…or super dead
