True the working die could be slightly off-set, rotated, tilted,wrong design hub, etc. but it was straight in, where as the single squeeze is using what I call a &quot;fit or pop/slide hubbing. The pressure orients the pressing, and if it starts slightly off center , the pressure causes it to pop into alignment.&nbsp; It is the pop that bothers me and probably led Wexler to think of them as &quot;God only knows&quot; doubled die. If the increasing pressure caused a pop and movement in one direction, why couldn&#039;t the increasing pressure causes a succeeding pop and movement in the other direction as it final reaches completion. I am aware of the operator stopped process, but I understand there are safeguards that trigger close investigation before the process continues, thus eliminating DD due to this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wasn&#039;t disagreeing with either proponent, I was expressing my opinion that the Modern DD can have differences from the classic.&nbsp; It is moot to me as I do not collect any DD, past 1995, and I would consider this coin, even though non-cents is probably correct in the significance of its size, as too insignificant&nbsp; for me to add to a classic DD.&nbsp; ...yeah I am one of those old-timers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
