mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 04/10/2020 10:32 pm To answer 3193zd, the bottom coin did not move between strikes. That's why there's no trace of a double strike. The bottom face of the top coin would develop a raised ghost image of the Memorial on the first strike. This would be impressed into the upper surface of the bottom coin on the second strike while a separate ghost image would form during the second strike (incuse on the bottom coin and raised on the top coin).

3193zd Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 04/11/2020 12:10 am Hi Mike Diamond. Thanks I understand now. First strike impressed both coins, next strike top coin moved before the strike and on the second strike it impressed the bottom coin in a different alignment. So back side of the bottom coin has an impression for the first die strike going through the coin and then an impression coming from the top coin acting like a die. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 04/11/2020 12:45 am Lots to process here, and thanks all for the input! I am away from home until Sunday night, and busy with stuff related to my move to my new home, but will comment and get back to this as soon as possible once I return home. Yes, home is now two places, and will be for maybe a month or more as it goes. New place is State College, PA, home of Penn State University. Will be there for good after what is a protracted move.i Report this Post to the Staff
durkastani Valued Member United States 452 Posts	Posted 04/11/2020 12:46 am It seems like the split planchet was fed in with a coin that had already been struck, then double struck with that coin which rotated between strikes, otherwise there would be squat on the obverse.
