[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 3509332, member: 84179"]From your original post: [I][COLOR=#b30059]This is not for those who refuse to question. It's not for those who dont look deeper into meaning. It's not for those who say, "it is because, it's always been and I say it". Lol[/COLOR] [/I] Mechanical doubling is not some arbitrary definition that some numismatists came up with while having cocktails at an ANA convention 100 years ago. It is based on the understanding of the mechanical and physical processes during minting. Based on your post, it appears that you still need to learn a little more about on the die making process. Remember, you have a master hub, that is used to make a master die, that is used to make working hubs, that are used to make working dies. No hand engraving. Also, don’t assume that the die movement causing mechanical doubling is only rotational. It can move in a number of directions depending on what part of the equipment/fixturing is worn or loose. The following should help increase your understanding: [url]https://varietyerrors.com/coin-dies-made-little-history/[/url] [url]http://www.coinnews.net/2013/09/13/how-the-philadelphia-mint-makes-hubs-and-dies-to-produce-coins/[/url] The Mint also has some videos on You tube. I haven’t watched them, but am assuming that videos from the USMint.gov aren’t likely to be clickbait. (looks like Chris just said the same thing in his response)[/QUOTE]
