<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 5136858, member: 4920&quot;]Actually, it is doubled. Your eyes aren&#039;t playing tricks on you. You just now have to get good at differentiating doubling due to the striking of the planchet into the coin and doubling on the die then imparted to the coin. The second one is where the money is, because they&#039;re rare and repeat on every planchet struck between those doubled dies. The first one is just the result of the planchet shaking a little after having been struck into the coin with normal dies. That shaking happens for a gazillion different reasons. The collar securing the planchet could be loose, the planchet or one or both of the dies could be oriented a little cockeyed. Whatever the reason, the planchet isn&#039;t struck clean, or flush to the dies. Just about every coin has strike doubling on it somewhere. Sometimes it&#039;s more apparent than others. Good enough? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
