<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1889514, member: 15199&quot;]Although that can occur ( double strike) it is very uncommon and appears different. MD most often occurs when the working die strikes the planchet and is moved in one or more direction before the die moves back up, or before&nbsp; it&nbsp; can withdraw perfectly vertically ( due to movement) and so the metal of the struck coin is sheared off or flattened in a direction. Both make the remaining image smaller in thickness and one part flattened, flatter, smeared/sheared compared to the normal portion of the letter or device.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No, the doubling ( doubled die) occurred when a hub die used to make the working ( striking ) die was pressed first with type 1 design . The working die is then softened to take a second impression from the hub die ( normal until the mint started &#039;single squeeze&#039; hubbing. Then the working die was accidently pressed with a different hub ( design 2) so the working hub now is the doubled die and is used to strike the planchets&nbsp; making doubled die ( type 3) coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
