    Do you mean the coin coppercoins mentioned that is quite a mystery? If so, you can do a search on the board for it. None of us are sure how it could remotely happen since all dies are made from a single squeeze process for quite a few years now which would eliminate the possibility of doubled dies.

    If you do a search in U.S.coin forum on coppercoins and words to include 2001 it will bring you to a thread with a link which has the picture. Joe

    None of the references I've read will go so far as to say that the single squeeze method has eliminated doubled dies. "Virtually eliminated" and "highly unlikely" are the phrases used. Even though the chances are extremely slim, it appears to still be possible. image

    You also have to consider that although the technique is SUPPOSED to hub the die in a single squeeze, what if the mint worker looks at a hubbed die and decides that it just isn't good enough and hubs it again?

    Of course the argument against that is that if he sends the die back to be annealed before the second squeeze its going to be noticed and there will be questions. If he does the second squeeze without annealing he runs the risk of damaging the hub, die, or both and possibly not getting a good impression anyway due to the work hardening of the die from the first squeeze.

    Ok, I would like someone to look at this R....It has no flat spots anywhere ....look at the creases around the loop of the top of the R...no shelving on this R.

    Ok Jonsey here is another...I like your grouping.

    See there is no shelving and the letters are thicker. Now did this happen in the 2 hubbing of a cold die or was this coin struck twice?

    Lucky, here are some pictures of my coin.

    I'd have to see the coin in person but it doesn't look like a doubled die to me. I admit in the scans the doubling doesn't appear to be flat, but the serifs are not split like they should be for a doubled die with that kind of displacement either.

    I still think it is die fatigue. The chrome has been deteriorated over many strikes like in the Coneca article. The MS grade has me puzzled because it is a proof coin. It must be unpolished proof dies like the 1999 W 5 & 10 dollar gold coins. It still should not happen. So to me there are four errors on this coin.
    1) They let the chrome wear off.
    2) They didn't polish the chrome.
    3) They missed it during the first inspection.
    4) They missed it during the second inspection.
