<p>[QUOTE=&quot;M.V, post: 2474266, member: 77112&quot;]A doubled die coin is one that was struck by a die that was accidentally engraved with a doubled image; by the way, a die is the device that imprints an image on blank coins, which are also known as planchets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dies are engraved by a positive, or relief, image of the coin called a hub; a hub is created by reducing down the image from an 8” to 12” plaster model.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes, when a die is created, the hub will accidentally create two images on the coin, which will usually appear as a slight, overlapping misalignment of the same design twice on part of the coin. Sometimes, the doubling will be quite extreme. In other cases, the doubling is barely noticeable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
