[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2398921, member: 1892"]OK, I'm getting dizzier by the minute. A double struck coin fully in collar for both strikes usually all but obliterates the previous strike. And the second strike is more or less "full" - you expect normal stroke weights, full sized letters, not the thin slices of stroke seen here. If the strike is strong enough to raise a letter to full height, it's strong enough to strike the whole width. How you going to strike only half the stroke of a letter? Then we have the VDB, which looks very_much_like what I'd expect of a coin double struck in the collar, with a little rotation between the two. The first strike, underlying, is almost completely gone and the second strike is fully developed. Curiouser and curiouser. :)[/QUOTE]
