[QUOTE="midtncoin, post: 2968886, member: 89569"]So I was noticing something that got me to thinking. (That seems to happen a lot with me). For some reason, it seems that in the "modern era" (post -1965), true doubled-dies seem to be almost exclusive to cents. Of course there are countless varieties out there and a plethora of machine doubling but I'm using the Redbook as the baseline as these are the "big" ones that are significant enough to be included in their lists and thus become kinda "the norm" when talking about DD's. Other than the lone 74d Kennedy, they are all found in cents. Is it entirely randomness and coincidence or is there a technical reason why cents would be more prone to this error?
