<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 3855894, member: 31773&quot;]I&#039;m really flabbergasted by these responses. It&#039;s actually ironic since I posted this as a counterpoint to the normal DDO posts seen here. I was sharing an actual new discovery, with high resolution photos! I&#039;m actually wondering if the folks on here are serious, or perhaps just pulling my chain? </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I was more right than I thought when I said it&#039;s simply a matter of folks never having seen an example of this type of doubled die before. After all, the doubled-eye type also was controversial when first discovered, especially since it was not clear how it was created. For your education, you can read the last paragraph of my 5th post above, reproduced here:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>&quot;In this case the hub was slightly offset during a first partial hubbing of the die. This commonly creates a &quot;doubled eye&quot; doubled die when the hub is offset to the east, but in this case the hub was offset to the southwest. The die metal is convex prior to hubbing, so the central portions of the hub hit the die first, thus impressing the central elements first. This is why the Y is doubled, with the T only showing a small amount of doubling, and the R little or none.&quot;</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>Here are a couple of examples of similar double dies listed by CONECA. These are both more minor than my new discovery example, but they will at least give the disbelievers a bit of education. </p><p><br /></p><p>1943P DDO-002 (Image from varietyvista.com)</p><p><i>[ATTACH=full]1021053[/ATTACH] </i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>1944P DDO-013 (Image from varietyvista.com)<i></i></p><p><i>[ATTACH=full]1021054[/ATTACH]</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>Here is a better picture of 44P DDO-013 by Bob Piazza at coppercoins.com which is perhaps an earlier die state and shows the doubling of the upper right angle of the Y.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1021056[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
