<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hardy, post: 40706, member: 2476&quot;]After reading quite a bit of literature on the internet I now understand about master dies and working dies and how doubled die coins are created.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I was not aware the mint mark was punched into the working die after the fact. I am assumind the date is part of the master die.</p><p><br /></p><p>That still does not explain how after the die is set in place and by a &quot;bouncing/chattering die&quot;&nbsp; only a small part of the coin is doubled. Wouldn&#039;t the metal on the coin or die have to stretch or bend for this to occur.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
