<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 1017266, member: 23626&quot;]I cannot tell from the pics. But I have noted that many of the clad cents I look at seem to have a doubling or ghosting. I believe it is caused by the plating in the planchet. I understand the planchet is punched from the layered sheets. The rims created by rolling, finishing the planchet. Which is then fed to the press which strikes the images by impressing the dies on the heated metal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When this happens, I believe gases are forced from between the layers and there is also a suction created as the dies are released ? That creates a machine doubling effect.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That&#039;s by what I have read. I have never witnessed the process personally, but I feel the explanation is accurate.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
