<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 1808654, member: 4350&quot;]There is no contradiction if you read.&nbsp; It says &quot;USUALLY in the direction towards the rim of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, a point to be made is that die deterioration doubling can appear differently on coins made from different alloys.</p><p><br /></p><p>On cents, we often see die deterioration doubling in a direction radiating from the center towards the rim.&nbsp; On post 1964 dimes, quarters and halves (copper-nickel clad coinage), we can see a doubling effect around the entire letter(s).&nbsp; On nickels, the doubling can get so bad as to almost fool one into the coin being a doubled die.&nbsp; You even see notches and groove-like effects.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now for some perspective.&nbsp; In several major coin magazines, major coin dealers are currently running ads.&nbsp; One ad indicates that since 1995, doubled dies no longer can be made and therefore no longer can be found.&nbsp; In another ad, a dealer indicates that he thinks he sees a repunched 3/3 on a Walking Liberty half.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, I don&#039;t need to explain the post 1995 doubled die ad since we know hundreds of legit doubled dies have been found on coins dated after 1995.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the repunched 3 in the date of a W.L. half, anyone who knows what he or she is talking about knows that repunched dates ended in the early 1900s when the dates were completely engraved into master dies because fully dated designs were on the master hubs.&nbsp; Even when partial dates were changed , the dates were engraved and not punched into anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins like the 1943/1942 P Jefferson nickel and the 1942/1941 (P and D)dimes are doubled dies where completed but different dated hubs were used to impress the effected dies.&nbsp; These coins are not &quot;Repunched&quot; 3 over 2 or 2 over 1 as many people think.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem now is that there are people who really have no clue on certain things trying to sound like they have a clue. Even major dealers are wrong since they don&#039;t have a day to day relationship with the error and die variety portion of our hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not one of those people regardless of what some people on this forum are trying to make things appear like.&nbsp; I DO have a clue.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, before it gets asked again....When I say &quot;WE&quot;, I am referencing those of us that are published in the field of numismatic errors and die varieties.&nbsp; Those who actually do have a clue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
