Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/18/2022 07:02 am @tna, instead of a doubled nose, do you mean two nostrils? If so, then I think that is just a well-placed hit on the tip of Abe's nose.

Ozzy5150 Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 02/18/2022 09:44 am I have 1 of these. Does your's have a crescent line thru the top of the head? I think I know what causes it. If you'd like to know what I've found email me. It's bizarre but I can prove it. Rather not hear about how impossible it is from everyone else.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/19/2022 4:07 pm There is a big difference between doubling and damage. Damage is incuse. Doubling is raised copying the design on not just that one area, but on all areas on both sides of the coin if double struck. On a doubled die, the devices will be raised and enlarged.
