Please let me know what you think. Pete (Still trying to take better photos and experimenting with lighting!) Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/17/2013 11:52 am That is split plating/ It happens when too much pressure is used to strike the coin. Happens more often than you think. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...LATING_1.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...LATING_2.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...LATING_3.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 05/17/2013 5:30 pm Thanks John1 - I have seen the terminology class 6 (or other number) and since I haven't looked at it before, I just now found this definition of Doubled Die Class VI by JT Stanton: "Class VI Doubled Dies - Distended Hub Doubling This form of doubled die is the most difficult for many novices to identify, as it will rarely exhibit any separation of the two images. A die may be hubbed with greater than normal pressure, then hubbed again with normal pressure, but with the design in a slightly different position. This will create a single image, but with thicker than normal letters and numbers, with little or no trace of doubling." The confusing thing to me about this definition is that it sounds like there would be no separation lines in Class VI...can you help me understand? Pete Does that reflect what you are thinking?

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 07:01 am Thanks for the education - on re-examination and comparison to the Class VI images on the link given above, I still think it is split plating - wish you were right! Pete Report this Post to the Staff
