tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 12/22/2016 10:37 am I know nothing about varieties on these coins, but this looks a lot like a doubled die to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Mayflower2020 Pillar of the Community United States 624 Posts	Posted 12/23/2016 11:33 am Could be Machine Doubling. I am also not great at this but do you have another one to compare it to? If so does it look like the numbers are wider than normal? I don't see a corner edge here to show it's two different numbers but if it looks like the right width but with that shelf then it is likely Machine Doubling. But if the numbers are wider it could be a doubled die. Any Swiss experts out there? Is this a common year for doubled dies? Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 08/22/2021 2:43 pm Definitely a doubled die. I joined this forum just two months before this thread was started. Edited by Tanman2001 08/22/2021 2:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 08/22/2021 11:34 pm Just to jump on this revived thread, does anyone know how the dates were hubbed on swiss francs back then? Almost looks like it could be an RPD rather than a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff
