<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cliff Reuter, post: 8302011, member: 115140&quot;]He, Wexler, doesn&#039;t refer to the term &quot;skip&quot; in this link. That is your terminology that you have added to explain your preference. If he, Wexler, does use the term could you please copy and paste from the link where it is used.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>LOL, I&#039;ve got a really good grip on the process already.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Are you referring to the doubling on the 2009D DC quarter as being caused by a &quot;skip&quot; while hubbing the die? If so, Wexlers site describes exactly how this particular doubling occurred and it has nothing to do with a &quot;skip&quot;. (And no one named Skip was involved either. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p><br /></p><p>From the link: (Again, no skipping is involved. Underlining is mine.)</p><p>&quot;On October 1, 2009 I had the privilege of having a telephone conversation with George Shue, Senior Advisor in Manufacturing at the U.S. Mint.&nbsp; During this conversation the 2009-D Washington D.C. quarter with a major doubled die reverse came up.&nbsp; Mr. Shue noted that the Mint was aware of this doubled die error and how it occurred.&nbsp; This particular doubled die resulted when <u>a hubbing press operator stopped one of the single-squeeze hubbing presses</u> to realign the hub and die and then restarted the hubbing sequence.&nbsp; In the process a rotational misalignment of images resulted.&nbsp; Mr. Shue further noted that the Mint was able to reproduce the error in a test to see what caused the doubled image originally.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>If you don&#039;t agree about what doubled dies are and don&#039;t care to collect these modern doubled dies that&#039;s up to you because that will be less competition for us that do. But you shouldn&#039;t try to sway other collectors because of your contrary definition/belief.</p><p>(By the way, I don&#039;t consider varieties to be errors, but you might?)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
