Angelarvc1 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 02/11/2017 2:37 pm Between double die and double strike? Are they 2 completely different kinds of errors on coins or does that mean the same? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 02/11/2017 2:42 pm @angelarvc1, the CCF glossary on the left hand side of your screen has some pretty good definitions of these two terms. Others here may have more to say beyond that.

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 02/11/2017 8:42 pm A doubled die is a double image on the die. Every coin that is struck with that die will show the same doubled image. A double strike happens when a coin is struck twice, leaving two images on the coin. Sometimes a coin will move before the second strike hits and make a completely separate image. Mechanical or Machine Doubling happens when there is an error during the striking process that causes the metal on the coin's surface to move slightly causing the appearance of a double image.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/11/2017 10:51 pm A doubled die is a die that has been hubbed with the devices showing a spread between the hubbing: A double struck coin can mean a coin that has two strike on the coin. That includes proof coins that are struck more than once. It can also include coins that are double struck in the collar: Also included would be double struck out of collar: Also Flip over strikes: Sometimes people call machine damaged coins as double struck but this is no the case. The coin was only struck once, but the machine damaged the devices after the strike. So depending on what you think it double struck, the answer may be here. I hope this helps Report this Post to the Staff
