<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Treashunt, post: 288037, member: 6763&quot;]Dave:</p><p>&nbsp; 1) The 1941 is strike doubling. That occurs when the top die shifts During the strike. It is considered to have no additional vlaue.</p><p>&nbsp;View the 9 in the date. As you can see, there is a flat &#039;shelf like&#039; appearance to the doubling. This is an easy diagonistic for strike doubling.</p><p>&nbsp; For a true double die, the second image should be as high as the original digit. It should look rounded, like the first image.</p><p>If you examine 19th century coins you may see images that are lower under the date, that is from a repunched date. Different technology. However, there are true double dies in the 19th centrury also.</p><p><br /></p><p>Vitagen: The poorman&#039;s double die that you refer to is always referred to on the 1955 Lincoln cent. It is also strike doubling, sometimes die erosion. No added value, and not a true double die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
