<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 114932, member: 1859&quot;]I have a few coins with this peculiar duplication of letters in the form of split plating.&nbsp; I believe mine are all broadstrikes.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have a good explanation, but this sort of doubling shares no characteristics with a double strike, a doubled die, machine doubling, or die deterioration doubling.&nbsp; I just think it&#039;s a peculiar manifestation of split plating (&quot;split-line doubling&quot;).&nbsp; All sorts of wierd effects arise under the tremendous force and velocity of the strike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
