What has a great potential to be confusing and the reason I had an interesting time with this one is that often on a mechanically doubled coin, raised lettering is damaged and you can see scrapes and such.&nbsp; </p><p>On these initials which are incuse on the coin and therefore raised on the die, you might expect to see some damage or scraping or obliteration of the high points between the doubled initials on the coin as the chatter of the die should still cause some damage to be visible on the coin. </p><p>If the coins were actually die doubled, even the incused initials on the coin would look the same as they do on these coins.</p><p>I had to look with 30X before I could see the scraping and minor movement of metal around the initials to determine that it was die chatter or a slight hop of the die when the coin was struck.</p><p>This type of doubling on this type of lettering is extremely interesting<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Have Fun,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
