DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/16/2009 1:34 pm This coin was described on another site as "double struck"--but what do you think? Wouldn't the second strike flatten details from the previous? Since the doubling is of similar relief, I wonder if this a doubled die. However it would be unusual for that to occur on both sides of this coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Jazzcoins Valued Member United States 301 Posts	Posted 03/16/2009 7:17 pm I think it;s a doubled struck because it;s on the obverse and reverse a great find the seperation is great not that you can;t have a obverse and reverse doubled die but this is a doubled strike because of the intense separation on both sides JAZEC Edited by Jazzcoins 03/16/2009 7:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 03/17/2009 02:07 am I like the little details, such as the doubling of the crown and the tigers tail. As for the legends, I think the fields would mash down where they overlap letters from the previous strike. Check out this double-struck Aussie penny--and how much the second strike obliterated the first strike. I find it amazing, but this looks like a DDO / DDR to me. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2752 Posts	Posted 03/22/2009 9:18 pm Looks like a doubled die on each face, with the dies being counterfeits. Either that, or it was photoshopped into looking like a doubled die. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
