<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 3229891, member: 15199&quot;]Its a matter of semantics.&nbsp; Most consider that up to the point of the die hitting the coin metal , any error is from mint participation/preparation, such as preparing the die in a way to produce the coins such as a misaligned second&nbsp; hubbing can causes a true&nbsp; doubled die.&nbsp; &nbsp; <b>After the die strikes</b> the coin metal, if the dies move slightly due to machinery, it is considered mechanical doubling or damage and not a mint error , even though the machine is in the mint facility, just as if damage was caused within the ballistic bag being moved in mint prior to transport, it is not a mint error, just damage.&nbsp; Occasionally , one can find a coin with a true doubled die and also have mechanical doubling, as both can occur, but rare. </p><p><br /></p><p>Someone else can explain how the newer coins that are only hubbed once rather than 2 or more can actually be True doubled dies. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; IMO Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
