<p>[QUOTE="jay4202472000, post: 2832905, member: 42573"]No, in the <b>ONE</b> link I provided the incuse letters are WAY wider than normal. As a matter of fact there is a whole other impression from die bounce. If it was skinny and distorted it would be a doubled die. The other link was concerning the 1972 master die doubling.</p><p><br /></p><p>The incuse MD is wider because to create incuse letters on a coin, those same letters on the die are raised. So when the loose die moves laterally it smears the letters and makes them look much wider/thicker than a normal strike. Take one of those refrigerator magnet letters (this is the die) and press it into play dough (play dough is the coin). Then move it horizontally. That is incuse MD.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, there is no triple strike on that Ozark quarter. Just simple die movement during the strike (Machine Damage/Machine Doubling/MD whatever you want to call it.) Oh, and that gash beside the A is just that, a gash. There is also a gash running through the RK. Just take some time and look closely at it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
