Agrippa Pillar of the Community United States 663 Posts	Posted 06/04/2014 12:20 am Wow, that's awesome! Thanks coop! I just read all of the pages on how dies are made and how errors are created on the wexler website. Between your info here and the wexler pages, I have a much better understanding of the minting process and more importantly, I now better understand what to look for as far as errors are concerned! Thank you so much for posting these! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/04/2014 01:17 am The fist step mention on the chart was the making of the "Galvino". Here is a Video that does discuss it along with other facts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48P7yOBZczQ Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AZKPVdw-7g Edited by coop 06/04/2014 01:27 am Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/04/2014 10:06 am The last two pictures are mislabeled. Those are Kennedy Reverse dies ready to be tapered in the metal lathe. Excellent presentation. Should make it very clear to those who don't have a firm understanding of the process. Report this Post to the Staff

Dar Pillar of the Community United States 1476 Posts	Posted 06/04/2014 6:34 pm Fantastic Coop! Should we ask the People in charge to make a " COOP'S CORNER " ? Sounds like a great idea to me as well Coins Kelly ! Edited by Dar 06/04/2014 6:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Agrippa Pillar of the Community United States 663 Posts	Posted 06/10/2014 10:14 pm I know this sounds SO simple, but it isn't all that obvious, especially to the new coin collector. I think us newbies think double dies are hard to see and subtle. However, if you read how a die is made above and think about the process, then the term "double die" really makes sense and will be quite obvious when you find one! What we are all searching for is literally, a double image. Same height, same shape, same everything because the doubled device is identical to the original device based on the process of putting the devices on the working die. I have only been collecting for almost 6 months now and have been on this forum for five of those months. Real double dies are rare! Which is why they are valuable! I guess this post is more for my own coin collecting sanity. After months of trying to figure all of this out, this all finally clicked a bit. I thought maybe my thoughts here could possibly help out a fellow newbie. :) Edited by Agrippa 06/10/2014 10:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/11/2014 04:29 am You mostly correct. The word is double[b]d]/b] die. The die is doubled from the hubbing. Some types of doubled dies affect only some areas. They are class 6 doubled dies. Here is one. The date area is affected: http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds Note how the date, motto and part of LIBERTY is affected. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...M_DDR-01.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...__DDR-01.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...R-002-01.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...R-002-02.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...R-002-03.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...R-002-04.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...R-002-05.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...R-002-06.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...R-002-07.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...R-002-08.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...R-002-09.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...-002-REV.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
