<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 3355433, member: 99642&quot;]Doug, what you see surrounding the letters in UNITED is called Die Deterioration Doubling, or also called Strike Doubling, or also called Machine doubling, depending on the exact cause of it, which these names for it give you a clue to the cause.</p><p>The bottom line is that almost all &quot;doubling&quot; of this kind is caused by worn out dies, and, even though it happens at the mint, it is NOT considered an important mint error at all.</p><p>For more information on this phenomena please read this link. Start by choosing the topic in the upper left hand menu called &quot; Worthless Doubling &quot;.</p><p><a href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" rel="nofollow">Wexler&#039;s Coins and Die Varieties</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Also read the part about the die and coin making process.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for posting. Good Luck and keep searching.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
