Message:: [QUOTE="Mr. Waggers, post: 3003724, member: 88556"]1) First, look at the difference between the letters when offsetting two circles (coins are like circles) in a NE direction compared to what we get when rotating the 2 circles keeping them centered. Can you see that "ROTATION" is what we do see on coins? -NUMBER ONE: Doubled-dies errors occur due to a rotation of the dies hubs. They are not misaligned. In fact, they NEED to be perfectly centered for this effect to occur, or it would result in the effect shown in the "SHIFT" illustration. 2) We are taught that Lincoln's profile isn't doubled on genuine 1969-S doubled-die coins. It doesn't make sense. Look at the nose and chin on the "ROTATION" sketch, as the coin rotates.If the letters were died separately, it would be ok to consider the same theory we are taught about the S-Mintmark, but no doubling on the profile if dyed concurrently in the process with the rest is impossible. If one the coin's die element rotates, so do all others. Look at the profiles on the two coins below, and compare them to the "rotation" sketch as a guideline. You can see how one coin demonstrates an example of " rotation" by looking at their noses. -NUMBER TWO: The 1969-S doubled-die is not as showy as the infamous one, of which you can see a picture, and sold for thousands if you asked Google.
