Strike doubling, which is what you have, is just by virtue of the striking of the planchet into the coin. These strikes are very violent, and rapid. The coins get loose in the collar securing them for the impact from the dies. The strikes don&#039;t impress crisply for it. The planchet moves, and there&#039;s a smear. Or it hops, and something&#039;s chopped off. That&#039;s how strike doubling happens. We look for repunched marks and doubled dies because they&#039;re from the dies, themselves. It means they repeat on every coin struck from those dies. And that&#039;s it, in a nut.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
