<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 926283, member: 21705&quot;]From my reading of the thread on Longacre Doubling, there are two theories on the origin of the Longacre Doubling. </p><p><br /></p><p>One is that it&#039;s part of the process of making the master hub and variation comes from wear on the dies. </p><p><br /></p><p>The second theory is that the process creating the doubling is used on both the master hub and the individual dies and therefore a source of variation.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing it has in common with Mechanical Doubling according to the article is that the powers that be have not crowned it with additional value tags and therefore consider it inconsequential. The author believes the scarcity justifies a premium, especially strong examples.</p><p><br /></p><p>I personally don&#039;t care if any deviation from the standard is crowned with added value or not. It&#039;s just that some errors have additional value, some diminish value and others have no impact on value. Just don&#039;t tell me it&#039;s NOT an error because of lack of added value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
