P.s. Messy , I'm fairly new to figuring out what's an error ,even what to look for , but one question and answer leads to another. .lol... with the force hitting the planchet, why doesn't it just spread it ? I mean ,the imprint of 9 and 3 underneath is clear, like the top part of dates moved, is that how doubling always happens? Newbie type question ,sorry ,but the more ya know..... ty

 

Great article ,ty! I will be honest though , it still is quite daunting and will take some time before I think I can feel accurate in future in determining what type of strike ,etc. Ty!

 

Usually, the strike doubling more of a "bounce" than a full-strength second blow. The result is a smashed looking outline. Doubled dies are when the hub, which has the same relief as the coin, hits the die twice and the two blows are not registered. Since raised design elements on the coin are recessed on the dies, they won't appear smashed. All coins made from such a die will then exhibit the same doubling.

 

Thank you! I'm definitively more educated today thanks to your input. I may be "double striking" the comment here cause forgot to sign in first, but this is appreciated. This coin I have is maybe MS60, and rainbow toning, especially across the tiara. If that continues, and I imagine it could I suppose , it's gonna be even more spectacular. It's a great find for me in the complete Peace dollar set I have!
