<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3246871, member: 92083&quot;]I honestly cannot think of any other way - besides intentionally funny business by Mint employees - how a coin already struck by a set dies winds up being struck a second time by dies from a different denomination.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only other way I can think of is that after being struck inside the striking chamber, a struck coin somehow isn&#039;t fully out of the chamber and manages to be stuck in there somewhere and somehow. It would still have to be stuck in there while dies for a different denomination are replaced, and then would happen to come loose, fall back down into the Striking chamber, and become struck by different dies at the exact time a planchet meant to be struck by those dies failed to come inside the chamber. This scenario seems ridiculous. Plus there would also be an additional planchet now in the Striking chamber, and thus the previously struck coin would not have a dead-on strike from both dies; it would result in a strikethrough indentation, right?</p><p><br /></p><p>What other ways could double denominations be created without someone purposely throwing a struck coin into a pile of planchets waiting to be struck by different dies?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
