<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 2633979, member: 17665&quot;]The only thing I know about &quot;stages&quot; is that they are progressive. Due to die deterioration mostly, a small crack is considered a stage and as that crack progresses it takes on a different stage in it&#039;s life, eventually sometimes leading to a die chip in there somewhere. A crack may start in the hair and when it reaches the rim, is considered to be a fatal crack. These cracks and chips were not on the original die so I&#039;m assuming this is where this die stage thing kicks in. I&#039;m not really into collecting the different so called stages of these errors anyways, just the original doubled die. I do agree that the term doubled die is being used quite differently then when I first started and maybe too liberally as with the new so called doubled dies of the Shield Cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
