<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2628565, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;m inclined to agree that the coin was struck with a doubled die, the appropriate diagnostics are there. </p><p><br /></p><p>As to your question, doubled die or master die, I don&#039;t know if Guatemala even used die hubbing back then. But with a little a work you should be able to determine an answer to your question. It will however require examining quite a few coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now given that you asked such a question I&#039;m going to assume that you probably know this, but in just in case you don&#039;t. ..... With the hubbing process a single master hub is used to create a master die. The master die is then used to create working hubs, and each working hub is then used to create working dies. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, if, and it&#039;s a big if, the die doubling were on the master die then all examples of this specific coin would exhibit the same die doubling - all of them. But if they don&#039;t, then you know it was not the master die, but a working die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
