<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3342794, member: 19463&quot;]As I understand the matter, the problem with these coins was the dificultly producing two dies with the exact same curve shape.&nbsp; If the obverse was more convex than the reverse was concave, the center of the design would be poorly transferred.&nbsp; If the obverse were less convex than the reverse was concave, the centers cold be clear but the edges would be weak.&nbsp; BenSi&#039;s coin appears to be the rarity of a perfect match.&nbsp; To correct mismatched curves, they rocked the dies between multiple strikes explaining why most of these coins show doubestriking that ruin one side or both.&nbsp; I feel lucky seeing a coin where the multiple images line up well. This one shows just a trace of misalignment on the obverse showing even it was doublestruck but this is clearly the best I have seen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
