<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cliff Reuter, post: 8302211, member: 115140&quot;]I&#039;m glad to see you agree the single squeeze 2009D DC quarter is similar to the old doubled hub methods and no &quot;skipping&quot; was involved.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can you prove the old doubled hubbed varieties occurred on the first or second hubbing? Did the working hub &quot;skip&quot; to produce the doubling (like you are suggesting it does on the single squeeze)? Of course not. The doubling, however it occurred, is on the die. And that is exactly what a doubled die is. Doubling on the working die that is caused by the working hub striking it multiple times.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hmmm ... to re-phrase a quote from earlier in this thread: Maybe the old double hubbed coins are exploited as a <b><i>variety</i></b> because it&#039;s on the die imparted there as a consequence of the double-hubbing.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW-I&#039;ve heard that before we modern (1955 to the present) variety enthusiasts came along, most numismatists considered varieties undesirable because they considered them &quot;damaged&quot; dies and not worthy of their time. I also think I heard variety collecting took off after the 1955 DDO-001 Lincoln cent was discovered. Has anyone else heard these stories?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
