<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 3408659, member: 99642&quot;]I&#039;m not an expert but from what I&#039;ve learned on this site, what you have there has several common names : Mechanical Doubling, usually caused by malfunctioning equipment; Strike doubling, usually caused by an extra strike or movement of either the striking die or the planchet; or Die Deterioration Doubling, caused by the die wearing out and spreading out the metal when the planchet is struck. However, they all have one name in common : Worthless Doubling.</p><p>These types of doubling are so common that they carry no premium or increased value whatsoever.</p><p>However, for new collectors, they&#039;re fun to look at and share with your friends in something we call Show and Tell.</p><p>Show your friends and tell them about it, and you can impress them all with your new found numismatic knowledge.</p><p><br /></p><p>For serious research into this phenomenon, check this site. There are also other sites that are good. On this one choose the topic &quot;Worthless Doubling&quot; from the list on the upper left.</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>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
