[QUOTE="Bmmartin, post: 4401157, member: 98956"]I remember that's one of the things my uncle taught me way back - it kind of confused me then, but made sense later. I thought I had found a doubled die, but he told me that I didn't have anything important because that was doubling from a master die. It was on every single coin of that year. He then explained the process and used mirrors as an example. Take a mirror, and that's your negative. Your right hand looks like a left hand. Now put a mirror behind you. Think +/-/+/-/+ and that way you can trace it back. Kind of like shooting pool. That was my general impression as well - just wondering how long they would use the dies and if they would cross them over to business. Basically, found another "5", but it was on a coin that looks to be a business strike... I'll DM you photos if you'd be interested in taking a look.[/QUOTE]
