<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 25473625, member: 104064&quot;]Not correct. I don&#039;t really understand what either of you is saying. Most typically the working <b>die </b>is double<b>d</b>, <i>not the hub</i>. The die is pressed into the hub, annealed, then pressed again, up to 9 or 10 times according to Wexler, and if there is a misalignment the die gets doubled. It is not from the planchet getting struck twice. </p><p><a href="https://doubleddie.com/58222.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://doubleddie.com/58222.html" rel="nofollow">https://doubleddie.com/58222.html</a></p><p>Saying &quot;double die&quot; imparts the idea that there are two dies, or that the coin is struck more than once, or whatever. Double<b>d</b> die accurately describes what it actually is, two (or more) slightly offset impressions of the design on the die. Every coin made by that die will be doubled. </p><p><br /></p><p>Working hubs created from master dies can also be doubled, because they are also pressed the same way but in reverse. In that case, every working die made from that working hub will be doubled, and the resulting coins relatively common. Even the master die could be doubled when creating it from the master hub, and then every working hub and working die would also be doubled, as well as every coin made from those dies. If there was only one master die for the year and it was doubled during hubbing, every coin that year would be a doubled die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
