nybird Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 07/16/2010 5:38 pm As I was looking for the bead size on a bunch of 65 cents I came across this one where the letters D, G, R, E, G, I, N, A are all doubled fairly significantly. Likely this is Machine Doubling right? Could I ask... why only some letters would be doubled and not all, I realize this is a dumb question but I have been wondering. thanks. Either way out a whole lot of 65's this was the only one like this. Edited by nybird 07/16/2010 5:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

nybird Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 07/16/2010 5:49 pm Wow you got me nervous, I went back and looked at the ones in the book and sure enough the first large bead is just like it but the other is not. However the first small bead is doubled all the way around, all the letters even more than the photos attatched in my first post. Made me double check the pointed 5's just to make sure I had put them in the right spots.... all seems fine.. Edited by nybird 07/16/2010 5:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
