<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 3744146, member: 1765"]Had the counterfeiter done this, they would have effectively been creating a doubled master die, which would show properly notched digits. Had one impression been weaker than the other, you'd see a "shadow" date, but not one that made the primary date from the strong impression thinner. These digits show double strike characteristics that could have been produced while making a working hub (all dies made from the hub would show the same doubling) or while striking the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The doubled "working hub" would be made from the normal working die specifically to create a working die that would produce counterfeit double-struck 1904 $20 Libs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
