[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 683795, member: 16510"][b]The difference is manufactoring of the die or hubb itself.[/b] "To be honest, im not sure how to tell the difference between highly collectable Doubling, and common mechanical doubling, so some direction would be appreciated!" If you do a search on here for mechanical/machine doubling verses true doubled dies you will learn a lot, more than I can type but,,, The difference is in the making of the die or hubb. A mechanically doubled coin is a mistake in coining such as loose equipment - a true doublED (never just double) die is a mistake in die production. The reason one is valued and one is not is a true doubled die can be traced to a die or hubb meaning every coin that the die struck has the same doubling meaning that it is now a variety - a mechanically doubled coin is a random occurence from loose equipment that once is tightend it is no longer viasable. The reson we value true doubled dies out of all the thousands of dies made that one (or more) was either overlooked, missed or was not significant enough for the mint production foreman to pull out of service. Those of us who study this stuff find it unbelivable that this could happen but it did and still does. I really feel to understand this stuff you have to learn the minting process to some degree to fully "get it" and there are many places that you can do that online also.[/QUOTE]
