<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1188509, member: 66&quot;]Typically it will be on just one side (usually whichever is the hammer die) and it usually is NOT all over that side (but CAN be all over).&nbsp; Frequently it is just in one small area, sometimes just on a single letter.&nbsp; It is not related to the life of the die but to the losening of bols in the press that lock down the die or the die holder.&nbsp; If the operator notices it he just tightens the bolts and the doubling disappears until the bolts get loose again.&nbsp; (There is at least one form of doubling that is related to the life of the die, die deterioration doubling. but I have never seen the Mint use the silver eagle dies long enough for die deterioration doubling to appear.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
