There are many ways this misalignment of images can occur, which have been classified into eight accepted classes:</p><p><br /></p><p>Class 1, Rotated</p><p>A class I doubled die results when the die receives an additional hubbing that is misaligned in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.</p><p>Class 2, Distorted</p><p>A class 2 doubled die results when the hub&#039;s design moves toward the rim between hubbings.</p><p>Class 3, Design</p><p>A class 3 doubled die results when a hub bearing a different design stamps a die bearing another design.</p><p>Class 4, Offset</p><p>A class 4 doubled die results when the die receives an additional hubbing that is misaligned in an offset direction.</p><p>Class 5, Pivoted</p><p>A class 5 doubled die results when the die receives an additional hubbing that was misaligned via rotation with a pivot point near the rim.</p><p>Class 6, Distended</p><p>A class 6 doubled die results when the die receives an additional hubbing from a hub that was distended.</p><p>Class 7, Modified</p><p>A class 7 doubled die results when the hub is modified between the die&#039;s hubbings (e.g., a design element was chiseled off).</p><p>Class 8, Tilted</p><p>A class 8 doubled die results when a die and/or hub is tilted during a hubbing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
