<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 6462865, member: 106826&quot;]The effect that you see there is the result of a tiny wobble during the stroke that coined your coin.&nbsp; The slight movement created a tiny swipe that moved material, distorting and displacing the material.&nbsp; When that happens with a new die in the machine (a press), the step (shelflike appearance) is rather obvious.&nbsp; When it happens with an older die, with wash and damage, the step is less obvious as it becomes a compound event (wobble and the late die stage of the die).</p><p><br /></p><p>Doubled dies are events with the making of the die that is used to make your coin. Two (or more) impressions offset just a bit.&nbsp; With a perfect strike...with no wobble, the coin that is coined will have the doubling.&nbsp; If you look at my attached picture, you will see a coin that was pressed using a doubled die AND you will see that the machine wobbled leaving the no added value &#039;doubling&#039;, (which isn&#039;t doubling) damaged impression (due to the press/tool used to coin my coin).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1258138[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
