<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 3372314, member: 15199&quot;]Somehow I suspect they figured if they slightly pointed the hub die, it would by the angle push the coin metal into the proper places, but under the heavy pressure the tips would slip, slide and vibrate , thus produce the damage now called a &quot;DD&quot; by devotees. Most are found near the center of the coin and that seems reasonable due to the force there. By doing this , intermediate steps are eliminated and thus cheaper and making the coins faster. None of that bothers me, its using a name that does not apply~Doubled die. It can not be!, as there is no second squeeze. It is just a short step to making mechanical doubling and die deterioration damage ( I suppose even ss process can deteriorate ) by the same term &quot;Doubled die&quot;. Then some of the faithful members who continue to attribute coins for&nbsp; the multitude of Youtube devotees will only have to say &quot;Doubled die , Bye sir and come again! &quot;&nbsp; But it won&#039;t change, there is too much money in it.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
