<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2599252, member: 44316&quot;]This is a real question. I don&#039;t do US coins, but I know about ancients. Why do people use the term &quot;doubled die&quot; when in ancients we see such a coin (like [USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER] showed us above) we call it a &quot;double strike&quot; and think the die bounced a bit when struck so it hit the flan twice, or it was struck twice with the die in slightly different positions. Do US collectors really think the doubling was in the die and not in the strike? Or does &quot;doubled die&quot; just mean the die was impressed into the coin twice?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
