[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 104413, member: 1242"]Although the doubling is very slight, I still believe that it is a minor Doubled Die caused by Distorted Hub Doubling! Ruben, I will try to explain Distorted Hub Doubling as best I can but I may have left something out or may not be totally correct in the description! [B]Distorted Hub Doubling[/B] occurs when a Working Hub (Die for creating Working Dies) is created and the Master Hub used does not cool to it's normal size after annealing (heated to harden it) sometime during the process of creating the Working Hub. The Master Hub is annealed and after cooling, it is used to press the image/details into the Working Hub then it is heated again and allowed to cool before it is used again for the second pressing. If before the first pressing or in between the first and second pressing, the Master Hub does not return to it's normal size after annealing, then the images/details on the Working Hub will be off. If this Working Hub is used to make a Working Die, then Working Die will then have the doubling and the result is Doubling either towards the Rim or towards the Center of the coin. Distorted Hub Doubling can generally occur anytime in transfer of the image/details from a Master Die to a Master Hub, from a Master Hub to a Working Hub and from a Working Hub to a Working Die.
