An 11 cent piece is a struck dime which is then struck as a cent. Here are some examples of 11-cent pieces. Since there are three of them, they add up to 33 cents total. </font></span></p><p><b><span style="color: blue"><font face="Arial">11 + 11 + 11 = 33</font></span></b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><img src="http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab269/collect89/198011cent.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><img src="http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab269/collect89/1985flipover11cent.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><img src="http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab269/collect89/1989flipover11cent.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial">First, the coin was struck as a dime. Then, due to mis-handling at the mint, the struck dime found its way to a press used to strike cents. The coin is then struck as a cent. You can see evidence of the original dimes strike under the cent strikes. </font></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial">There are many other double denominations possible on US coins. These next 2 photos depict a couple 6-cent pieces. </font></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><img src="http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab269/collect89/1984flipover6cent.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><img src="http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab269/collect89/1989flipover6cent.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial">In this case, it was the cent that was struck first. Then, the struck cent found its way into a press used to strike nickels. You can see evidence of the Lincoln memorial on the obverse of the Jefferson nickel strike. Sometimes, evidence of the first strike is obliterated by the subsequent 2nd strike. These two coins show evidence of the first strike on Jefferson’s face. Jefferson’s cheek is the area of highest relief on the nickel so it is one of the last areas to get filled during the nickel strike.</font></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial">You could also use the six cent piece to make three coins add up to 33 cents</font></span></p><p><b><span style="color: blue"><font face="Arial">6 + 25 + 2 = 33</font></span></b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b><span style="color: red"><font face="Arial">Using double denominations, there are dozens of ways to make three coins add up to 33 cents.</font></span></b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial">The fundamental rule for a double denomination is that the first struck coin must be small enough to fit into the coining chamber of the 2nd coin press machine. For instance, a half dollar cannot fit in a nickel machine but a nickel can fit into a half dollar machine. Obviously, a half dollar could not be struck as a nickel because the half is physically too large to fit through the feeding mechanism in a nickel machine.
