<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SamCoin, post: 7578172, member: 119946&quot;]In general? Yes. Most double struck coins have the first strike on center in the collar and then something happens as the coin is exiting the striking chamber and the coin is struck again off center without the collar, leaving you with a big lobe on the coin where the second strike occurred. Double strikes in the collar are far rarer and are worth hundreds of dollars on modern coins, compared to just a few bucks for off center double strikes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not really sure what Conder means about these coins not being struck in a collar since I&#039;m not very familiar with classic coinage, but that assertion sounds suspicious since coins struck without a collar will be off-round as the metal expands freely away from the pressure of the strike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
