yontan Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 05/11/2013 02:15 am I was looking through my dollars today and some shadows caught my eye. I would swear the 5 and 3 are doubled pretty clearly. I took the best pictures I could and would like to know what you think. Check the top of the 5, and the inside curl at the top of the three. Sorry. The second picture did not show, but is now posted. Any opinions? Edited by yontan 05/12/2013 01:45 am Report this Post to the Staff

ArchW New Member Canada 34 Posts	Posted 05/12/2013 03:12 am Hello yontan. I just started looking for 'errors' on the old coins I have in storage. The names for each, how often they show up, what might be the cause, etc. The closer I look, the more errors I find. So I've set a standard for myself. If a coin catches my eye and there is a obvious error using a 10X glass, OK. If I have to zoom in with a 600 dpi image to find something, maybe I'm looking to hard. I don't know if coins are pressed using cold or hot material. If hot, a Die Shift might be the amount the metal shrinks between each strike? My experience is with wood working machinery. Most of the time, the machine is accurate. Hard, soft, wet or dry wood, and the operator cause the Variety and Errors. Edited by ArchW 05/12/2013 03:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
