coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 3:11 pm Even the real doubled dies experienced the same MD direction on a large percentage of DDOs that year. Rgw 1968-1972 cents had an issue. Seems like the 1973 stronger strikes helped fixed the issue most of the time. Report this Post to the Staff
