<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 8199163, member: 4920&quot;]Let me try to explain this. No guarantees it&#039;s going to get across. Fair enough?</p><p><br /></p><p>Take two cents. Put one flat on the table. Put the other one on top, but slightly ajar. Do you see the part on the bottom cent that&#039;s showing? That&#039;s analogous to the first image punched in a doubled die, or the inferior punch. The top cent is analogous to the second image punched, or the superior punch.</p><p><br /></p><p>Assuming you got all that, this is what you need to note. The top cent, or the superior punch, will always show 100% intact, just like this top cent is showing 100% intact. That means when you observe distortion or foreshortening in that second or superior punch, it&#039;s <i>not </i>a doubled die. What is it? It&#039;s what you&#039;ve got, here, strike doubling, due to an unsecured planchet, resulting in a hop or slide.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, the experts don&#039;t think so, and what about that? That one&#039;s the easiest. Tell them go to hell or collect stamps or some damn thing, they&#039;re in the wrong business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
