<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 3726728, member: 13307&quot;]Okay, so (in the interest of having fun and providing the best photos I can to help people check out the coin and further the discussion) I decided to take a couple more images to share.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Image 1</b>: closeup of the nose to show the die clash</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m certain this is the clashed die, since I can look at the coin in hand, but this photo might help those having trouble also seeing it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]999192[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Images 2 &amp; 3: the chin and neck area to show what my <i>original question</i> was trying to figure out</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]999193[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]999194[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, what I&#039;m seeing in hand is that there is a ridge in between the lower section of the extra metal and the edge of the profile proper (red arrows).&nbsp; Also note that there is a section of the extra metal where it disappears into the fields (yellow arrow.)&nbsp; And there is a section right at the tip of his chin that absolutely looks like it could be strike doubling (blue arrow) because it&#039;s relatively flat.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]999197[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>But if it were truly mechanical/strike doubling, would the doubling disappear in the middle of it like this (yellow arrow)?&nbsp; I&#039;ve always read that mechanical/strike doubling happens during the strike - so it&#039;s going to be somewhat consistent from end to end (either all the same magnitude or increasing in magnitude from one end to the other.)&nbsp; How would it be possible for this to be an example of mechanical/strike doubling and have it disappear halfway through?&nbsp; And how could there be a ridge in between two raised areas?&nbsp; Sure, the blue looks like it could be mechanical/strike doubling...but not the yellow/red areas.&nbsp; (But that&#039;s just me - I&#039;m happy to be corrected if someone can explain how it could come to be.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m really interested to hear if these new images help change anyone&#039;s mind or reinforce what they were already thinking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
