<p>[QUOTE="HenryKnox, post: 2751717, member: 87725"]Pardon my ignorance on the matter but it seems to me rather duplicitous to claim, as some gentlemen experts have, that mechanical doubling should be viewed as a form of damage and command little if any premium; yet, on the other hand, interpret off-center strikes as a fine example of collectability and refuse to call it damage at all, or at least, refuse to use the term damage explicitly. When in reality, off-center strikes are the most egregious forms of damage that could possibly occur during the minting process, as they have nothing to do with the die at all. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, one may argue that mechanical doubling is far more common than off-center strikes. That may be well reasoned, but the experts who write these books should replace the misnomer they have created with a more accurate word.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
