Erns Valued Member Puerto Rico 92 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 11:03 pm It's a "Poor Man's Doubled Die" but the thing is that it's not really a doubled die. It's an example of Die Deterioration Doubling. Hopefully this page will help you: http://doubleddie.com/144843.html Report this Post to the Staff
shaban Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 07/24/2013 12:08 am Thanks Erns, I knew it wasn't an actual double die. And although the page says it's "worthless" people still pay a small premium for them. Mostly as book fillers I suppose :) Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 07/24/2013 1:53 pm This was always a popular find for myself and a friend when CRHing as a kid. I still have a dozen or so and more than one has the "cracked skull" from what I remember. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
shaban Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 07/24/2013 7:47 pm Thanks Dave, I found 3 or 4 of them in the last few rolls I've look through. I'm not sure what the "cracked skull" is though Report this Post to the Staff
