What set this one apart was that it was cantilevered, and the travel of the doubling extends to the A preceding it. Another of the series is doubled in arka"NSAS" all the way. One of the challenges in attributing incuse is that any slop or chatter in the strike is going to show as MDD. So I am careful not to call that a doubled die.

This could well be a function of the same dynamics which cause those pesky metal flow lines at the edges and sometimes toward the center of the coin. IDHair PM me and I'll send it to you for some good pics. I reserve the right to add an I to the description, for incuse, if this pans out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
