<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 5800940, member: 19463&quot;]The curved shape of these coins required they be struck twice with a small rock/shift of the die to between.&nbsp; If this was done poorly, we will see a doublestrike as on this coin.&nbsp; Unlike the gold, the AE alloy just did not strike well with curved dies unless both dies had exactly the same curvature (rarely the case).&nbsp; On the die, your two right side figures were the same.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
