That makes sense! I got it the other way around, it's the higher relief and not the lower relief features that catch the die upon ejection while...
Generic. By the way 19Lyds, the "doubling" on the inside of that A and nowhere else is part of what's confusing to me, per the other thread on...
ok just read Ken Potter's explanation. It's vibrations (like the movements for shock absorption?) that cause doubling. So vibrations cause...
Die movement tolerance for shock absorption purposes makes sense. But I would think, at least conceptually, that the ejection process would still...
I posted this within an unrelated thread and I think it would be better to dedicate a new thread for this topic because I'm still confused. After...
I posted this in an unrelated thread on here, but it may have gotten lost in there. Does your 2014 Silver Eagle have this doubling inside the A in...
Like on this 2014 Silver Eagle... there is clearly some sort of doubling on the inside of the A in DOLLAR, but nothing on the insides of any other...
I see a huge separation on the US and the craters of the moon (has thick borders). The marks to the upper left of the world is just damage, as...

Nice presentation!
On the bottom serif of the G in Chicago, it's not straight - is it just PMD that skews it in the wrong direction? Also, on the 1892 date, the 9...
That would be really neat! I'd imagine though that sufficient provenance for that would be hard to obtain.
I believe this may be a double eye, with doubling on the letters IN (DDO-002) and the star, all on the obverse. Or, is it something else like DDD?...
I'm curious to know how numismatists' tastes have evolved over the years while collecting coins. Mine started out with hunting silver just because...
No problem.
Well I took some photos with the microscope camera that came in the mail today, and I hope these photos are a little better (I'm still trying to...
From these pictures, can you tell if there are any issues? It appears to have discolored, and it's a different color from what I'm used to for...
Maybe the extra 1 is from the "missing" last T in TRUST, placed upside down. Or that T could just be a greased die...
Above the E in LIBERTY there's a high relief. Is that due to a die crack? It's very uniform and looks to be separate from the top of the E. If...
In today's market, what is considered the upper threshold of low mintage? Moderate? I'm sure these numbers will change as the population grows,...
Separate names with a comma.
