[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 553997, member: 4350"]Hi Carlos, The machine doubling is exactly where it would be if the die took a slight twist in a clockwise direction. You have to take into consideration the position of the details on a die. A little rotation of a die during a strike when the die is a little loose will produce machine doubling that looks like this. Also, the doubling on UNITED is mostly due to die deterioration so that doubling appears different than the machine doubling caused by motion of the die during the strike. Some of the doubling on the date and "CHARTER" is also due to die deterioration. The end result is that there is no die doubling or evidence of a double strike and basically, once they are ruled out nothing else matters. That is with the exception of the education that can be taken once you accept that the coin is common. Asking questions to gain knowledge is great. Asking questions to try to prove that something is what it isn't is a different aim but sometimes that pays off too. After two or three rounds of the same answers though, we usually have it figured out:-) Thanks, Bill[/QUOTE]
