<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pyrbob, post: 753498, member: 17044&quot;]I&#039;m confused about what you are calling &quot;die&quot;.&nbsp; The die strikes the image into the planchet creating the coin.&nbsp; The term doubled die comes from the image being doubled on the die so when it strikes the coin the doubled image is transferred to the coin.&nbsp; The gouge rockdude referred to above is a gouge in the die that is then transferred to the coin.&nbsp; A gouge is indented into the die so it will produce a raised line on the coin.&nbsp; But there is no die on a coin.&nbsp; Die gouges and die crackes are on the die and both produce raised areas on the coin.&nbsp; I hope this helps you to understand what is happening to your coin.&nbsp; If not keep asking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
