<p>[QUOTE="rascal, post: 1443516, member: 29239"]the master hub is not the actual die that strikes the coins.the master hub is used to create the working coin dies and at some time a mint worker could have redone the date and mint mark on the die that struck these odd looking coins. each and every one of them that I have seen always have the die chip on the top of the 9 so I'm thinking that all of these 1957 D coins that have this wide looking doubled date were made from the same working die. if this is only strike doubling then how could it be possible for every coin from this die be doubled exactly alike ? my opinion is that something was definately wrong with the die and not just strike doubling. I have a couple of these coins here somewhere but they are in a bucket full of thousands of wheat back cents and I'm not about to try to attemp to retrieve them. keep watching ebay and you may be able to see more of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
