<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3029186, member: 71723"]You can do your own simulation of standard doubled dies. A hub is a "positive" image, that looks just like the coin's surface, A die is a negative image. You can take your own "hub", a coin, and press it into therapeutic putty (for those recovering from neurological damage) or even that all-time classic, Silly Putty. The putty becomes your simulation of a working die. When you press a coin into the putty a second time NOT in perfect alignment with the first pressing, you have created a doubled die.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, imagine you no longer need two pressings, and one will do.
