dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 07/04/2011 3:46 pm just another doubled column. I thought it was interesting - in that I have seen only a few others listed with columns at an angle like this (other dates). I was a bit surprised when I referenced coppercoins site and found it not listed. I realize that the site is a work in progress. as I looked at the coin longer I even began to doubt that it was even a doubled column. anyway - just sharing. opinions are appreciated.

Changeless Valued Member 273 Posts	Posted 07/04/2011 5:51 pm Always wondered if this kind of error (the 'bars' at such an angle to the columns) could have been caused by a die clash. Otherwise, I don't understand how this happened. Report this Post to the Staff
buggs Valued Member United States 158 Posts	Posted 07/04/2011 5:52 pm Would someone be so kind to point out the double column. I am very new to this and want to make sure what to look for. I want to get an education in this hobby that no college can teach. Edited by buggs 07/04/2011 5:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/04/2011 11:35 pm During the hubbing process when creating dies, the single squeeze die may have been started and backed off and the die turned a little. Leaving a partial impression of the columns on the center of the die. After hubbing again or in some cases the hub snaps back into the correct position the extra hubbimg marks show on the center bay # 7 on the memorial reverse. The other bays are cancelled out as the planchet flows into the hub. Because this isn't noticed, these extra bars, the dies get used. Some bars are very minor, some run the length of the bay. On the angled ones the reason they don't get removed is that the deeper indentations from the first hubbings don't get removed because the field/bay is shallow. So they remain and they appear in that location. Report this Post to the Staff
Changeless Valued Member 273 Posts	Posted 07/05/2011 09:10 am Nice explanation Coop. My curiosity raises other questions, but these all fall in the area of minutiae... and I will try not to think about it any more. But I do get it. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
