<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cdb1950, post: 33165, member: 1735&quot;]Wouldn&#039;t any doubling created at the beginning or intermediate stages of a strike be obliterated as the strike progresses?&nbsp; Before the strike, the planchet is blank.&nbsp; At the beginning of the strike, the die touches the planchet and begins to impart design elements.&nbsp; If die movement/doubling occurs at this time, wouldn&#039;t it be obliterated as the doubled portion is pressed further up into the die&#039;s design cavity as the striking progresses?&nbsp; If the die moved while at the peak of striking pressure, there couldn&#039;t be any mechanical doubling because the entire raised portion the coin&#039;s surface would be pressed into the die cavities and would only move along with the die, showing no doubling.&nbsp; Only after the strike is complete and the die starts to move away from the struck coin could there be any contact between the die and struck coin that would produce mechanical doubling...???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
