[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 6572358, member: 84179"]Plating blister/bubbles Reread Wexler's explanation on how dies are made and you'll easily see that a DD can't look like your coin (I'm sure you have his site bookmarked and have looked through it at least once). [URL]http://www.doubleddie.com/58201.html[/URL] Also, do a search for double struck errors and study the pics (make sure they are real errors, not somebody asking a question on a forum. It shouldn't be hard to find slabbed examples). As others have said, a double struck coin can't look like your coin. Remember, there are lots and lots and lots of ways for a coin to be damaged once it leaves the mint. The more you know about the minting process, the easier it will be to find the real ones. Many of the members answering your questions have demonstrated their knowledge of the minting process on this site over the years. FWIW: I think you're leaving yourself open to criticism by using statements like "It must be...", "tell me this isn't.....", "This has to be..." (your post title). Most of the coins you post "[U]Can't be..."[/U] and error and that's obvious to those with experience. Right or wrong, insisting you have something when you don't is a good way to get snarky responses. It takes some time, but keep studying.[/QUOTE]
