Doubled die: error in production of a die which results in the doubling of all devices on the coin. Multiple coins are produced with the same errors. Increases value. Double strike: a coin that is struck more then once and the coin shifts positions in between the strike, resulting in a double image of a device but not all devices are necessarily affected, it just depends on how the coin shifts during striking. Only affects a single coin, because it is not a die error but a striking error. Usually not as valuable as a doubled die error. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 12:36 pm But usually only one die is affected on a doubled die. There are a few of both sides being doubled dies, but the incorrect hubbing of die affect one die at a time during the dies creation. The reverse is normal on this coin. Only the obverse die is a doubled die. Double struck: Looks like a mint worker assisted this striking of this coin? Several different types of double strikes. flip over, off centers, double struck in collar, out of collar. I have a lot more images, but no use in drowning the subject. (I have over 250 images in this search) Edited by coop 09/21/2021 12:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 1:42 pm Heya coop. Could I see an image of a flipped double strike? How in the world would that happen? That'd have to be one in several million chances of occurring. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 8:23 pm Not all doubled die coins are worth money. Sometimes they are to plentiful. But I guarantee every double struck coin is worth money, and usually big money. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 8:54 pm Which one? The first on is just an overlay of the location of the strikes on the first three images in that section. Report this Post to the Staff
