The book states Doubled Die.. The sign on the hubbing machine at the Mint states Double Die.. Which is incorrect

 

Doubled Die

 

Look at it 1 more time... It says DOUBLE DIE

 

A bit nit-picky, especially for people not involved in the hobby. But the message is understood by those working on the press.
It probably should have said, "Only you can prevent Die Doubling". Or, "Don't you be no Doubling Dies, you hear?!?!"

Wizard coin supplies may offer it cheaper....their pricing seems to be below suggested retail on most items they carry.

 

The text in the book says doubled dies, but the sign shown in the picture doesn’t spell it correctly lol

 

I'm sure the book was "Proof" read prior to publishing. The quick paper sign, a mint worker made and hung, was probably not. I think if I worked there, I would 'have to' stop the press mid-stroke and maybe give it a bump so that it created a Doubled Die and give everyone here something to look for!

 

if that was how they happen, the story might be funnier...

I don't understand (except for the OCDish nature of collectors in general) why this is such a big deal (argument)

 

I also purchased this book, and I especially enjoyed the section on Ikes! It's an excellent resource.

 

I love this! "The difference between Satin Finish coins and the regular Uncirculated is not sufficiently distinctive enough to inspire many collectors to desire one of each finish for a given date and mint." Probably true, given the low prices for some of the lowest mintage coins in the series. Yet, kinda the same small difference between matte proof Lincolns and nice business strikes, which cause confusion today. Since history repeats, I bet one could find the same written about the matte proof Lincolns. At least I and many of my customers do appreciate the difference between the finishes and do collect both now, while they're affordable.

I just ordered a copy of this book. Anyone know if it talks about the reverse proofs and enhanced uncs?

 

Hasn’t anyone commented on the spelling error in the shot of the 2009-P: “Plan” instead of “Flan?”

It's my coin..
NGC uses PLAN which is short for PLANCHET

 

Look at the "QUALITY ALERT" sign taped to the glass.

 

On the window

 

That's not how doubled-die coins are created.

 

Sarcasm, or ignorance. I guess that's a way to save face.
