<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 55664, member: 1859&quot;]It is my opinion -- one that is shared by many others -- that strike doubling IS a minting error.&nbsp; After all, it is related to the downstroke of the hammer die.&nbsp; It can sometimes be so severe that you end up with distinctly duplicated and well-separated design elements.&nbsp; To dismiss it as damage is, I think, a form of special pleading.</p><p><br /></p><p>Alan Herbert considers it &quot;damage&quot;, but I respectfully differ in my assessment.&nbsp; I am happy to pay, and have paid, as much as $75 for extreme cases of strike doubling.&nbsp; Heavily doubled Sac dollars have sold on eBay for well over $100 (which I think is excessive).</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said, most cases of strike doubling are trivial and have little collector value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
