<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 2198099, member: 4920"]Briboy, it doesn't have to be flat and shelf-like. That's a Wikipedia understanding of strike-doubling. It depends on how the die hit it. It could have slid in. It could have hopped, skipped, jumped, or all three. I'm not trying to be cute. From what I'm seeing, your photography is playing some tricks. Look at the O and D in your top picture. They didn't make little Os and little Ds to go inside of big Os and big Ds, but that's what your picture is showing. That didn't come from the die. That coin had trouble centering in the collar, too. See the opposite side from that O and D. It was off-alignment. The die wasn't in the best shape, either. It doesn't look to have been worked over, much, at least, not to me. Ah, deteriorated die, off-alignment, who knows? Except it's not from the die. My opinion, anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
