<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HawkeEye, post: 3116849, member: 86305&quot;]I posted this on another thread yesterday, but it worth mentioning here also.&nbsp; I have struggled with understanding die doubling even after years of work on Morgan dollars.&nbsp; Maybe as I age I just need some pictures to get things straightened out in my mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>Last week I ran across this site <a href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" rel="nofollow">http://doubleddie.com/58222.html</a> and a lot of things I have struggled with became clear for Morgan Dollars.&nbsp; But the Stone Mountain Half has many of the same issues. </p><p><br /></p><p>With the Morgans many features were added to the dies through the use of punches, so doubling was a human mistake.&nbsp; But by the time the Stone Mountain Half was created hand punching features was long gone.&nbsp; So why am I seeing so many double die features?</p><p><br /></p><p>Once you do some detailed reading on this web site the methods of introducing doubled dies becomes much clearer.&nbsp; No matter what you collect in all likelihood you will encounter doubled die coins at some point and this information can help you understand the process.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it should be required reading for collectors at all levels of expertise![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
