Single squeeze coins as I see explained, the mm is added in the computer engraving of the master die , all at the same time. When looking for varieties such as DD or RPMs, one MUST know if they are single squeeze ( usually after 1995) although a little experimentation was done earlier, or the older classic and true DD before. Too many people are trying to identify DD and RPM on single squeeze coins by the characteristics of the older multi-squeeze coins and rpms similarly. IMO Jim[/QUOTE]
