ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 05:01 am Quick question to clarify the meaning of an often-seen description. Does "extra thickness seen on [whatever feature]" refer to depth or to width? Report this Post to the Staff

Here is a nice example of extra thickness http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=mds Also the word "spread" is sometimes used.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 10:11 am Doing a side by side comparision is the best way to see extra thickness: Note the normal image (top)? The two doubled dies are pictured below it. The extra thickness can be seen on the doubled dies. The second image on on all letters of LIBERTY. The third one only only the RTY. So in this case the term Extra thickness means wider devices. Report this Post to the Staff
