<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cliff Reuter, post: 8300223, member: 115140&quot;]Well said and thank you because you saved me a lot of time in responding to other comments.</p><p><br /></p><p>If others want to nit-pick, isn&#039;t <u>all</u> hub doubling created by mechanical means? Are we to eliminate all Doubled Dies?&nbsp; At the end of the day, the doubling, whether conventional or single-squeeze is only on one(1) working die. And that is the definition of a Doubled Die variety (not an error).</p><p><br /></p><p>I know most members here are familiar with this information but Wexler&#039;s DoubledDies.com has some clear descriptions of the two processes and the current understandings for doubled dies. Collectors can read the info at <a href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" rel="nofollow">this link</a>.</p><p><a href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" rel="nofollow">http://doubleddie.com/58222.html</a></p><p><u>Wexler refers many times to both methods as producing doubled dies</u>.</p><p><br /></p><p>(BTW-MD has always been used to refer to striking issues on the coin, not the hubbing process.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll add the following:</p><p>-Class 4 doubled eyelids resemble a lot of modern hub doubling towards the center of the design.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Class 3- The 1960D SD/LD was created by the two different die designs used that year. (I&#039;m not sure the reason this variety was mentioned.)</p><p><br /></p><p>-Class 6- Some collectors turn their noses up at this class as well since there is no separation associated with this form of doubling by itself, just thickness.</p><p><br /></p><p>We all collect what we find interesting and can afford. If someone doesn&#039;t care for modern doubled die coins, so be it, but they <u>are</u> produced from doubled dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good thing I was able to keep this short and to the point. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
