Wow. Page 24 Why Does Everyone Think They Have A Doubled Die?Why Does Everyone Think They Have A Doubled Die? question asked on answered on/and answered on this thread. http://goccf.com/t/439300#3782155Mule CoinsWhat is a Mule Coin? a wrong die that is from another series used. http://goccf.com/t/439359#3782725 Wider/taller devices, Shorter/narrowed devices? Cause?Why are some devices looking wider and some looking smaller? wider/taller is from grease prevention of the tops of the devices being block by grease. smaller devices is from the fields being polished off the die, removing the wider parts of the devices and leaving the tops. making the devices smaller in size. http://goccf.com/t/439335#3782734DDD? What is that?DDD? What is is it? stages of die aging. not a premium for the coins, just what is going on with these single squeezed dies with the lower profiles. http://goccf.com/t/439357#3782746Die States, how does it affect coins when your looking to buy a new coin or a replacement coin?Die wear, does it really affect the looks of coins? Is having an earlier die state more beneficial? knowing the difference will land you are nicer looking coin. I feel sometime in the future, the buying of die states will be important. so train your eyes to find a better die state on your purchases. http://goccf.com/t/439331#3782763Edited by coop

How are the DDR on Memorial Cents created on a single hub process die creation. (Class 9 doubled dies)How do bar cents on the Memorial design happen? misalignment of the hub during the die creation. this is a one step process, but if the alignment is not correct at the beginning of the working hub process, and snaps into the correct alignment, then these DDR's will be created on the die and show up on the struck cents. http://goccf.com/t/439385#3783468Why are some coins off center looking on one side of the coin?What is a MAD coin? How does this happen? miss-alignment of one die will make the obverse/reverse not over the opposite die. thus one side is affected. this can happen on both dies, but the miss alignments will be different than an off center strike. (rare) http://goccf.com/t/439424#3783475

What does an inverted "S" mintmark look like?For what year/denomination? On a cent the 1946 year comes to mind. The inverted 'S' mintmark on that year was a certain Style that was used on that year: There were three different styles used that year:  Note the Ball serif style. That is the one that is most know for this issue:  Note the shape on an inverted Ball serif:  Two were know for that year. All the rest were normal. The differences between these two? Location of the mintmark positions. Mintmark locations varied up to 1990. They can be used to identify a certain year variety when a mintmark was used that year. But in 1990 going forward, the mintmarks not hand punched any more. They are on the master hub, so they will all be in the same locations. Some examples didn't have mintmarks, Why? Not sure on some? There are missing mint marks from all three mints. The Cents only had a 'P' mint one year, 2017-P. But all the rest of the cents from Philly didn't have mintmarks except for s special event on 2017-P:  On the 1965-1967 U.S. Coins there were no mintmarks on all denominations. Because of the removal of silver from the coins, they didn't put mintmarks those years to make sure that collectors would hoard these coins as much in order to replace coinage that would be missing because of the removal of silver Silver coinage. Just a little history I've lived through on the events of the 1960's. Hope this answers your question.

Are die cracks collectable coins?What is a die event? Are they collectable? If so when are they considered as slab item? the most extreme die events could have value if they are limited in number. but most cracked dies are continued to be used. http://goccf.com/t/439480#3783959Split plating on coins? Keepers or not?What causes the zinc cents to develop a sunken area on the fields and designs on the cents? split plating is the opening of the plating that allows the zinc to get oxygen. this starts zinc rot. this a not a collectable, but a death sentence for these coins. so if you are buying a variety coin, make sure the mintmark area is not affected. if so then it can become a problem coin to sell later on.  when buying coins, always look for the problems some coins may have and look for the better die state examples. I feel in the future these will be of more demand than the extreme worn die states. http://goccf.com/t/439485#3783967Off color coins: Are they always a good thing?Does a brown color on a coin mean a good thing for the coin? no. if it is residue from being left outdoors, then it is not a plus. This wear off the coin later on. On a missing clad, the strike can be weaker because of the missing height on the planchet. So look for a red color, not a brown color for the missing clad coins. http://goccf.com/t/439486#3783974Why are some die events worth more than other die or coin events?What is the difference between a damaged coin, a die chip and a Die Cud coin? the number of examples of the chips and Cuds. the less numbers there are, the more they are worth. (IE: why sand and gold are different values? the amounts of each) rarity is the difference. http://goccf.com/t/439455#3784040Die polishing events that remove parts of devices, a die issue?Why are some devices smaller than normal? die polishing will alter devices. sometimes isolated device can be even removed on the shallow devices of the die. thus the missing letters/initial/feet/peg leg and other die events that really are just a die polishing issue, not a different design. The dies were normal until they were altered by polishing. (again, a die event) http://goccf.com/t/439494#3784045How do I tell a vise squeeze coin from a real mint error?How can I tell is a coin was altered or double struck? What would I expect to find? devices that are raised not incuse. devices that are normal, not mirrored. Also the alignment would be correct on both sides of the coin. http://goccf.com/t/439553

Movement of grease on the fields, distribute the grease during striking more coins, filling the voids on the dies.How does the grease get into the die devices? first on the fields and then moved into the devices and design areas. When totally blocked nothing shows. part blockage, leave the devices wider/short according to the amount of grease that fills the voids in the die.  Click on link below to see the full discussion.http://goccf.com/t/439616#3785440Why do some doubled die show notching and others do not?What causes notching on devices? the spread that is not exactly over the premium hub process. thus the corners of devices can show this notching when the alignment of the hub is not correctly over a previous hub process, leaving these notches on the corners of devices.  Click on link below to see the full discussion.http://goccf.com/t/439567#3785447What is flat field doubling, and how does it relate to the Machine Doubling process?What is the difference between a doubled die and Machine Doubling? Machine Doubling is part of the striking of the machine. a doubled die is created on the die. thus the Machine Doubling is never a doubled die, as the doubling is on the die, not created by the machine.  Click on link below to see the full discussion.http://goccf.com/t/439579&whichpage=2#3785460Why are my devices sometimes filled?What is the difference between a die chip and a broken die post? posts create the inside of closed devices. Chips are just part of the die that breaks away from the die. Click on link below to see the full discussion.http://goccf.com/t/439597#3785472Should I use Side by Sides?Do side by sides work?yes. you can see the normal from the doubled dies, or see if they are both sets of normal and normal. It helps take the guess work out of the questions. Click on link below to see the full discussion.http://goccf.com/t/439494#3785500

On the single squeeze dies, look on these 1999 forward dies, to see if you can find a new die listing. Don't just look at certain years. Check on other years and surprise, you might find a new one?Should I be looking for the DDR's on the same areas of the listed ones on different years on the 1999 dime reverses, even though they are not listed yet? yes. the same DDR areas could be affected on different years. maybe you will find an unlisted new one?

Is a die clash raised on a coin?What is a die clash? When the die clash together without a planchet between them, the devices alter both dies designs. Usually around more of the central area of the designs. These are die events that happen to the dies. Check out the full information on the link below.http://goccf.com/t/440095#3790788Why do the devices move into the rims on coin dies?Why do master die swell outwards? die show wear as they age. so do master hubs, as they were used to be used for many years. master dies were created yearly. because of needs for today's dies, they are created differently. Check out the full information on the link below.http://goccf.com/t/440149#3790819Having a hard time finding doubled dies on dimes? Here are a few clues on how to find them a lot easier.Knowing what areas to search on dimes will help you find DDR's a lot easier. center of the design on the reverse of the post 1999 dimes.

What are the lines on the fields called that are like wrinkles?What are die flow lines? these are part of the normal die wear pattern of dies as they age. not a collectable, but are noticed, sometimes polished (face lift) and continued to be used until they are retired.

What affects the strikes on coins? Die polishing.Why is the strike on my coin so weak looking? die polishing can alter the devices on a die. sometimes it can be that the coin was not the correct weight? thus the devices will be struck weaker. Some die events can be seen on the coins struck, but not all of these are collectable. something common is not a plus for a coin. but underweight may be an issue that would added some premium to an error collector. But if the weight is normal, then it is just another coin in the sea of coins. Click on the link below to see the full discussion of this subjecthttp://goccf.com/t/440347#3792896

Machine Doubling can happen on a doubled die. but only a hub doubled die, can strike a doubled die coin. Machine Doubling is caused by the machine. a doubled die creates a doubled die coin because of the doubling on the die.
