    No, but I have seen strike doubled Morgan dollars that have doubled dies, as well as RPMs with strike doubling at the mint mark.

    Did I misunderstand the thread title and purpose? Are you looking for double struck AND doubled die?
    Or double struck OR doubled die?

    Edited for poor comprehension lol

    He is looking for a coin struck twice where at least one of the dies is doubled.

    OK! You win....well, maybe I can find an old polushka [полушка] around here in the Russian box....or the one leveling that autographed photo of товарищи Трамп и Путин. ;)

    Gluggo - nice medal. Some descriptions of plains native hunting practices indicate that hunters used two hand on a spear so they could get enough force to pierce the bison's tough hide. Imaging doing that while riding at full speed, avoiding a charging bull and all without stirrups!

    Roger what you just described sounds almost crazy. I wonder how long it took the braves to perfect that maneuver and how many tines they fell off the horse? I bet not to many back then no emergency clinics to take a dislocated shoulder etc. Thank you the detailed discription considering I had only been on a horse once in my life and I must of been about 12.

    I have not seen any example of what you describe @RogerB....that is, on U.S. coins... there may well be one out there yet to be discovered.... Cheers, RickO

    Spartan and Corinthian cavalry and parts of Alexander III's forces also used the technique. As you note, it was very difficult to do and soldiers were aided by the smaller breeds of horses then in military use. All of this changed in the 4th century CE when various earlier rider stabilization methods were consolidated in China and produced paired stirrups. This spread westward by Avars, Mongols and others, and created great improvement in the effectiveness of cavalry. This seemingly simple invention was an important technological advance in organization and structure of societies. :)
