wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 01/10/2012 4:08 pm At first I thought you were talking about a Mercury dime. I've heard of it called Machine Strike more than Doubling. Machine Strike is a shearing when the die hits the planchet and the die moves ever so slightly from not having the die bolted down tight enough. Doubled Dies have a smooth edge to it, since the doubling is on the die. Report this Post to the Staff
