<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rick Stachowski, post: 2958113, member: 42872&quot;]It was Pool night last night, so I&#039;m back with some more info .</p><p><br /></p><p>When the design elements on a coin are incuse rather than raised, the appearance of mechanical doubling is even more deceptive.&nbsp; Since the design element on the die is raised, when the loose die shifts and bounces it will leave a secondary impression on the coin that is incuse just like the normal design element.&nbsp; All of the characteristics of normal doubled dies, such as split serifs and separation of images, will appear on the mechanical doubling images.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many of the modern coins such as the America The Beautiful quarters have design elements that are incuse.&nbsp; On the obverse of these quarters it is the lettering near the rim.&nbsp; When these incuse design elements show doubling, it is almost always going to be mechanical doubling.&nbsp; The following photos show mechanical doubling to the incuse letters around the rim of a 2011-P Pennsylvania Gettysburg quarter.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: left"><img src="http://doubleddie.com/mediac/450_0/media/3e8205c5dfb26350ffff88e0ffffe417.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: left"><img src="http://doubleddie.com/mediac/450_0/media/3e8205c5dfb26350ffff88e1ffffe417.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
