<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1259920, member: 31533&quot;]Just so you know why we are critiquing your coins so hard (so far) - it&#039;s because there are so many people out there that want to put out wrong information and hoodwink others into buying non-collectible coins and non-errors as if they were valued errors. I am not saying you are, either. So the best thing to do to combat that is to make sure that we don&#039;t become yes men to people who come on here in such a soft-glove way that they think it&#039;s ok to continue to think that these non-errors are errors and that fake coins are real and authentic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hub-doubling is very much noticed in most cases, as not only does the coin look like it has a doubled image, but the doubled part usually looks as nice as the other....and it should, because the way it occurs is during the minting process BEFORE any coins are struck and AS any striking dies are formed, and NEVER after that and during the striking process. The hub is characteristically used 2 times to sink the design into the striking dies, and if they are rotated or mis-aligned between that, then they can create a die that had a doubled-die error.</p><p><br /></p><p>Machine doubling and other forms of doubling after the die has been in use or due to the way the operator doesn&#039;t clamp the die down enough is strike doubling and is not considered collectible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
