<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 3004191, member: 24544&quot;]Mr. Waggers, what don&#039;t you understand about my post? You alternate between vague, open ended questions and complaining that no one is answering your questions.&nbsp; What is your question, I am not a mind reader...</p><p><br /></p><p>In regards to your digital rendering and the clear doubling of the nose, it has significantly more rotational separation between impressions than a 69-s DDO1, which is exaggerating the nose doubling. Second, your rendering is using shading to show the doubling, which makes it very obvious where there is overlap in the image and where there is not.&nbsp; This is great as a mental model of hub doubling, but is not an accurate representation of how the die, or coin, actually appears.&nbsp;&nbsp; When two letters are pressed onto the die with a slightly different angle, the incused marks overlap in a very obvious way.&nbsp; However, when the entire bust is pressed twice with a slight rotational difference between, the doubling is much more subtle. There is no overlap of image to catch your eye, but I assure you there is a double impression. It&#039;s just very, very slight due to the smaller linear distance between the two images.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look at the date on a 69-S DDO1.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]743867[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you see how the distance between the last 9s double images is larger than the distance between the two 1s?&nbsp; That&#039;s a function of the 9s being further away from the axis of rotation, the center of the coin, than the 1 is, and the nose is about half as far away from the center as the 1s are.&nbsp; Like two bike wheels with different circumferences, say 4 feet and 8 feet.&nbsp; When you turn them both 90 degrees the small wheel goes 1 foot and the big wheel goes 2 feet, they have a different linear distance even though they have the same rotational distance.&nbsp; The same thing is occurring with the nose, it&#039;s closer to the center of the coin, and thus has a smaller linear distance between the doubled images, even smaller than the 1 in the date.&nbsp; It&#039;s not zero doubling, but it&#039;s very very slight.&nbsp; This effect, combined with the different way large design elements double in general, causes there to be very little, or very subtle, actual doubling on the nose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
