matthewpj73 Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 09/29/2011 6:25 pm Coop - when you say the are on my coin is "not raised" - are you meaning that it's just a smear on the coin? Because on mine it is definitely raised, but maybe only 75% the height of the rest of the design...Like if you start in the middle of the tail & head east, there's a step down about 25% of the total height of the overall design above the background, then the "smear" is about 75% of the height, then drops off abruptly to the background, straight down. See my confusion? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/29/2011 10:28 pm Look at the examples of doubled dies I posted. Note the field area is raised. On your coin the devices are normal with an area pushed in a direction. If this were a doubled die, the device would be enlarged and not step like. This was created from a normal die that moved during the strike. The next coin may have totally different machine damage on it. But on a doubled die, each coin struck with that die will have the same doubled area. Edited by coop 09/30/2011 01:39 am Report this Post to the Staff
