Getting more ridiculous by the minute. Now we have to throw away all our coins with doubling because someone claims to be able to create it. They might all be Fake!!

Another great error coin Zonad. "No Decision"!. They obviously don't have any experts there. The coin is clearly minted over the doubling. But is suppose someone will come up with some crackpot theory as to how it could be altered.

I also think the first strike is real and the after strikes are fake, there should be no rim gutter and the 2 "Es" are slightly different styles. Soft after dies lacking clarity...Just my opinion

The devices of the coin are hardened by the minting process, they are less malleable than either the soft die or the fields.

Nice pics..now I'm not sure what to think. It almost looks like the dies took multiple clashes with a coin that wasn't ejecting properly prior to striking this coin thus producing the rim indent into the die's, and creating the doubling then striking this one  ...looks cool regardless thanks for sharing that one.

"The devices of the coin are hardened by the minting process, they are less malleable than either the soft die or the fields."
Seem possible/plausible but I would like to hear why and what are the mechanics.

"The devices of the coin are hardened by the minting process, they are less malleable than either the soft die or the fields." I really thought we would get comments on this, so DBM I have to ask if this is your theory or is it somewhere that I can read about it?
