I realize that it is minor, but can anyone confirm that these photos show Doubled Die attributes? Thanks.
Hey Jeff . I have a great Link here > It's all about Doubling . It's a little overwhelming but study it and it will sink in . Good Luck and Happy holidays . Layout 1 (conecaonline.org)
Jeff, a couple other sources for you. https://www.doubleddie.com/228401.html http://www.varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/DDO listing.htm
Very nice article. I suppose the best thing about it is that, as you read, you are sort of forced to picture in your mind how the manufacturing process moves through each step necessary to complete the process of a finished product. Knowledge is key to the learning process, as is experience, but understanding the dynamics of how a thing happens, I think, greatly increases the speed at which experience affords you that required knowledge. I wonder, is there a video, of the coin manufacturing process, available somewhere that we could all see? I imagine having that knowledge would be very helpful for beginners like myself, and others, for you guys to present in the future to ease the learning curve? I doubt that many, or even most people, as beginners will even take the time to read the material you provided. I believe that, in many cases, seeing something happen can lead to a quicker and more satisfying medium through which novices can effectively limit the frustration inherent to the complexities of this hobby. I really had no idea that there was so much to learn about it. Even verbalizing the word "numismatist" or "numismatics" to describe my new hobby to friends and family has led to strange looks. I am learning that this is not that people think it is strange to like doing this, which is what I assumed, but, that most people don't even know what the word numismatics means. Knowledge is key. I just realized how lengthy I have made this post! Please take it as indication to my excitement after acquiring a better comprehension of "Doubled Dies" as well as my appreciation directed at Sensiblesal66 for providing it. THANK YOU SIR!!!
Point in fact... As soon as I posted my last reply in this thread, I clicked the home button at the top of the page and the first thing I saw was the picture below. Now, I have seen this picture many times as I have visited this site, however, this was the first time I really looked at it with any interest. I never dreamed that a true doubled die was a result of the actual die and not simply how the die strikes the planchet. GOOD STUFF!!!!!
