<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1410534, member: 26302&quot;]The difference to me sir is that true doubling was present the moment the die was made. We simply do not know if maybe the person making the die intended to double the image or not. I would say the same with ovedates and the like. They are present on new, pristine dies, so the mint had every intention of making that coin like that, (management withstanding). Now, a cracked die, rusted die, wobbly die, (creating machine doubling), etc are mechanical imperfections that hypothetically were not intended, and were imperfections in the system and were not on purpose. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, to my mind, a 1918/7 quarter, doubled die 1844 half, or 1942/1 dime should all be capable of being a 70, but 3 legged buffalos, coins struck from rusted dies, 22 plain cent, coins with die polish lines, weakly struck coins, etc should not. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion and would completely understand if others disagree with it. To me the moment the die is created and put into service is the &quot;official&quot; coin the mint is attempting to make.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
