<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4535741, member: 19463"]Is ther a case where a die duplicate is better than a different coin? I say yes. When the second coin confirms a reading of a rare type or completes a reading when both coins are off center in opposite directions as in maridvnvm's example, the dupe is a real plus in my book. Of course some of us get carried away.
