KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 10/28/2008 4:19 pm Here, I also wonder if one did an overlay of the obverse whether some distortion would be indicated by the offset doubling? To satisfy my curiosity, I'll try an overlay later. Report this Post to the Staff
markn Pillar of the Community Australia 1295 Posts	Posted 10/28/2008 5:31 pm It's probable that the double nose penny is a hub tripled die rather than just a doubled die as the doubling cannot be explained by one offset strike of the hubbing die. That one is nicely toned but the coin surfaces are 'orange peeled' and hide the 'tripling' a little. This one doesn't have as much eye appeal but the lack of toning makes it a clearer example of the variety. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 10/28/2008 11:46 pm Mark, nice shot! I now see what you mean-- the doubling in GRATIA has one displacement, while in DEI there's both similar doubling, but I see a third doubling beginning with the D, which continues anti-clockwise through ELIZABETH II. Any clashing on the coin? Edited by KurtS 10/29/2008 01:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
