Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Your thread should be called "The Poor Mans Doubled Die"  |

The area on the lower right base area looks like a doubled die. But when you scroll off the image to make a post, then you realize it is just MD. At first I thought it was the left base area. I didn't realize the initials were there till later. If you image that it was the left base, it does look like a DDR. But it is a right base area image. Had me thinking for a bit on this one. |

Yea coop I wasn't sure about that one. I figured it was one of the kinds of md but the top left and bottom right of the memorial are raised. I didn't get a great pic of the right it looks better without the shadow. Thanks for the look, Will

Coinmaster's dime on page one of this thread is the best example IMO. A classic example of Class VIII "tilted hub doubling" looks as if it tilted/pivoted around the 1:00 mark at the rim. The class VIII doubled coins just seem cleaner, that is not so much messy doubling as it is usually very precise. Because of the pivotal nature of this error it only realy shows in about 1/8 or less of the design elements at the rim opposite of the doubled features. I still don't know why a class 8 isn't a DD. The die that they put in the coin press was doubled when they made it in the hubbing press. Galvano-Hub-Dies. I'm sorry but doubled dies means doubled dies once they are installed. It doesn't matter how they found their way on to a coin press! Or wether the Artist designed it, engraver engraved it, the Hub press operator messed it up. Class 8 happens because the dies (that were doubled by the hub press operator) ARE DOUBLED DIES and were installed in the coin press, they aren't loose they aren't damaged they aren't worn out. Got to love Wexler but boy sometimes I don't know. I will admit that class 8 dies were created during the Hubbing process and that was caused by mechanical means BUT they should be called a true DD. Bananna dance time.  Edited by Reeds253

I know this must sound idiotic,but too me some of the MD coins are more interesting than the actual DD coins.

When you figure out the sheer number of MD coins are out there, then you will appreciate doubled dies a lot more. On the ATB Quarters, the MD on the incuse devices are as much as 70% affected with it. So I don't marvel at them, I dread finding them. Because they ruin the value to me if they are on a doubled die. Coin graders don't discount the grade because of this MD. But to an avid collector, they ruin the deal for me. Probably you just haven't seen enough of them yet to feel the way I do. |

Coop I didn't mean that I didn't appreciate true DD coins. I meant that the MD coins are more interesting too me! Because of the multitude of styles you come across. I know they are of no value. But I do like to look at them. I do wish I had more DD coins! But as I go I hope to gather a few more!
