<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1554988, member: 15445&quot;]I don&#039;t know what the coin press configuration was for nickels in 1958.&nbsp; I do know that at various times some presses made one coin at a time while other presses were configured to strike 2 or 4 coins with each strike of the press.&nbsp; A neat error coin (called a saddle strike) can occur in dual &amp; quad presses.&nbsp; The saddle strike occurs when a blank or a struck coin is positioned out of the collar dies and partially lies on more than one set of dies.&nbsp; The dies simultaneously strike the planchet &amp; the metal flow causes the area between the two strikes to bend.&nbsp; Here is an example of saddle struck cent (with bend).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also depicted is a double struck cent (not saddle-struck).&nbsp; The simple double struck cent does not have the hump characteristic of a saddle strike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
