sab3927 Valued Member United States 163 Posts	Posted 11/08/2012 5:29 pm The RTY picture is a good abrasion doubling picture. If the press operator polishes the die too vigorously, images of the letters and numbers can appear on both sides. This die was probably clashed and the press operator went abrasion happy.
