<p>[QUOTE=&quot;non_cents, post: 1914997, member: 30970&quot;]Well, this obviously isn&#039;t the only doubled die to be found...there are thousands of different doubled dies already discovered, a good handful of them not even requiring any magnification to spot. This one is noteworthy because in comparison to recent doubled dies, it stands out. It is by no means the only doubled die you can find in circulation. We had a guy on another forum pull an AU 1972 die 4 a few years back, which sold for well over $1000 if I remember correctly.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, if you look at 2 coins closely enough, they will be different. But could you really identify WHY they are different, how the anomaly occurred, and their difference be anything related to a mistake by the mint?</p><p><br /></p><p>Error/variety searching is not the only reason to have an interest in these. It also gives collectors knowledge and education about the inner workings of the minting process. I can&#039;t speak for everyone of course, but that is some cool knowledge to learn by just doing some rollhunting&nbsp; and research.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess it could just be my trained eye, but to me this really does not look anything like a &quot;normal&quot; strike. The 2011 die 4, which is extremely close in appearance to this one, can be seen with little magnification and were selling for almost $100 a pop in AU when they were selling hot.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Think I may sit this one out, man...this is my last week of classes before &quot;senior project&quot; time, and Sacramento is a good distance away. But maybe I can plan on heading go either the San Jose show or the Sacramento show at the end of May...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
