I wasn't able to match this to any on coppercoins, but similar to # 34, 42, & 68 Opinions on this? phone + lens + loupe: Pocket mic: And areas that seem to be markers: Report this Post to the Staff

Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 10/13/2014 5:30 pm I sometimes wonder if the small raised part of the die chipped away on this die and they are die chips. A lot of these extra fingers don't look like DDR's to me. But what do I know. Report this Post to the Staff
QEthree New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 10/13/2014 10:32 pm That's why I mentioned bubbles - I don't know if the design (the small peninsula of lower relief surrounded by fingers and book spine) is somehow forcing trapped gas into certain areas. As far as doubling, the extra thumb is the only anomaly - nothing else is doubled. At any rate, it was neat to find! Report this Post to the Staff
Tryna Pillar of the Community United States 937 Posts	Posted 10/14/2014 11:58 am From what I have read this is not doubling. The explaination I last read was that the hub strikes the die only once. The die face is slightly hemispherical and the hub slipped slightly as it contacted the high point. The auther refused to acknowledge it as doubling but did not give it a name.
