<p>[QUOTE="cdb1950, post: 32625, member: 1735"]Yes. This is actually a mint error, an imperfect strike. Multiple strikes are supposed to land in exactly the same spot as the previous strike(s), but this obverse die shifted between strikes. This is similar to one of the ways a doubled die is produced when shifting of the master die occurs between impressions when creating a working die.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is different than ejection doubling or mechanical doubling, as that occurs after the coin has been struck for the final time. </p><p><br /></p><p>Rule of thumb, just about any anomaly with the planchet, die, or strike can be considered an error. Anything after the final strike is damage, not an error. Ejection doubling or mechanical doubling occurs a fraction of a second after the final strike, so it is considered damage to the already struck coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
