It used to be that all dies were hubbed twice, and if the two separate hubbings did not line up exactly then part of the design was doubled. Today, they use the single squeeze method - a die is only hubbed once. But die doubling is still possible. It occurs when during the hubbing that there is a slight movement and again part of the design is doubled.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that&#039;s the easiest way there is to explain the 3 things and their differences. But if you wish to read more about varieties and errors, then you can start right here on Coin Talk in the Numismatic Resources section.
