[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 4111648, member: 77814"]A Doubled Die has nothing to do with the number of times a coin is struck. Coins are normally struck ONCE. A Doubled Die has to do with the number of offset impressions on the DIE itself. There are 8 classes - or different varieties of Doubled Dies which may include Doubling at the Hub or Master Die level too. If you take a half dollar, and press it into play-doh then slightly rotate it and press it in the pay-doh [B][U]again[/U][/B] you can think of the play-doh as the Die, which shows a Doubled Die offset image. Then if you dry the play-doh that is your die. So when you stamp the Play-doh die onto another softer playdoh the image will show the offset/rotated image the FIRST time. ... if that makes sense[/QUOTE]
