<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 1730450, member: 33176&quot;]One more time, a double strike is when a coin has been struck twice.&nbsp; The 1955 is not a double strike.&nbsp; In making the dies for the 1955 cents, one or more of the dies was made with a double strike (on the die, not on the coin).&nbsp; Thus you have an error in a die which can make many doubled die coins which will be identical.&nbsp; If a coin is struck twice, each one having this kind of error will be unique.&nbsp; Doubled die coins are scarce, but have markers showing which ones came from which dies.&nbsp; If you look at the cent in the original posting and look at the tops, bottoms or ends of straight line elements you can see notching, showing that the die the coin was struck from was doubled.&nbsp; If the striking machine moves, or the die moves in the machine you will get the flat, shelflike doubling that is called machine doubling.&nbsp; I think I can see it, but I might be fooling myself, but I really can&#039;t distrust people who have been doing this successfully for years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
