Its my understanding the dies are made like that, hence the term doubled die

 

Did i even say that no its just an example to compare to and it doesn't look similar at all in general.

 

I think that there are a few members here that need to do some more reading on the difference between a Doubled Die and worthless doubling.

 

I'm not going to post any more of my thoughts It is clear that I'm more ignorant than I thought lol, I'll just let the experts clarify, it's fun to learn new things!

 

@Vincent White Here is a resource for you too...

Simply, no. True doubling is actually in the die. It is created when the hub is used to created the working die. https://varietyerrors.com/doubled-die-coins/

Double die or strike doubling?

 

Thank you! Time for my schooling I will definitely do some reading up on this as well, not my area of expertise but that doesn't mean I shouldn't study it in order to understand it better!

 

@Vincent White, concentrate. We need clearer pictures. I've seen clearer pictures of UFOs than this one on the left @Kurisu supplied of yours. Get us clearer pictures like this one on the right, or we're just going to continue going around in circles...

 

A doubled die is created during the die manufacturing process not the coin manufacturing (coin striking) process.

 

A strike doubled coin is created during the coin striking process.

 

Just because you believe it to be a doubled die doesn't automatically make it one.

 

A double struck coin is not the same thing as a doubled die coin.

 

Just for clarification purposes, we're saying the same thing. Right?

 

The difference is in the name...

A "doubled die" coin is literally a die that's been doubled in the die making process and then strikes the coin.

A "doubling" on a coin also called strike or machine or ejection doubling is when the coin is basically struck twice by the die.

Around 1986 the mint started using a single squeeze method on coins so the type strike of doubling you see on modern coins changed and tends to be much less dramatic. http://varietyvista.com/25 What Are Die Varieties/Watershed Dates.htm#:~:text=1986 � The U.S.,proper depth for striking coins.

 

While not 100%; I can say with a fair level of confidence - "yes we are". A double struck coin is created during the coin manufacturing (coin striking) process.

 

Sounds like you have made up your mind Vincent. No need to ask for further opinions really.

 

Strike doubling is created during the coin striking process. It’s not a double struck coin, if that’s what you’re driving at.

 

Not a Doubled Die..

CT friends..
.. Don't feed the trolls

 

? I'm not the OP, think you meant to say Vincent, I just had questions about the different types of doubling lol

 

Whoopsie. Sorry about that.
