<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mountain Man, post: 5050363, member: 94733&quot;]I&#039;m confused. I thought the way the dies were installed made it impossible to put two of the same sided dies in the press.</p><p>From <a href="https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/two-headed-coin-value-768399" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/two-headed-coin-value-768399" rel="nofollow">https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/two-headed-coin-value-768399</a></p><p><font size="5"><b>The U.S. Mint Can&#039;t Make Two-Headed Coins </b></font></p><p>Production processes in the U.S. Mint make it virtually impossible for a two-headed (or two-tailed) coin to be manufactured by the mint. The coining presses that are used to produce U.S. coins have two different shaped receptacles for the coin dies. When coin dies are manufactured, the shank of the coin die for the obverse is a different shape than the shank of the coin dies for the reverse. This manufacturing process design makes it virtually impossible for a coin press operator to load two obverse (or two reverse) dies into the coin press.</p><p><br /></p><p>Clarification please.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
