Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74624 Posts	Posted 05/31/2018 12:25 am It's Machine Doubling, not a Doubled Die. Note that the devices are reduced in size and is shelflike in appearance? That's because it happened during the strike. The die damaged the coin by bouncing a little during the strike. A real Doubled Die actually happens during the die making process. Here's a good read for you. http://doubleddie.com/58222.html Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
