    This Douled Die error is well-known, and looks great on a
    Gold coin!

    There is also a TRIPLED Die 1926 $20 St. Gaudens that looks similar.........

    Never knew that Fred. I never really pay much attention to this with Saints, because there are many variants (like the D mintmark...some date shave 3 varieties) . I probably have 6 gems dates that have wire rims. But the HR wire is a separate issue? I don't THINK so!

    I never heard of these. Is there any premium for DDOs with Saints?

    Interesting comment, Fred, on first glance I thought thie coin pictured was a tripled die. Look at the upper right points of the stars, the tail of the 9 and 2, and the ray that runs under the top of the 6, they all look tripled to me.

    As neat as it is to look at, there's not much of a premium for these simply because the coin is already worth so much to begin with.

    It's more obvious than a lot of VAMs.

    As far as value, they are what I call "White Elephant" errors.....

    The coins value, as either a numismatic item, or it's gold content,
    surpasses the premium it would have as an error.

    Also, this particular DDO $20 is very very easy to find if you go
    thru a few dozen, or maybe 50, of this date.

    Sean, the tripled die has very distinct "triple points" on the
    2, and especially the 6, if I remember correctly...scarcer, but
    still easily found.......

    JB - it can actually be seen with the naked eye, as the
    date is "thicker" than the normal 1926 $20 St.............

    I'm far more interested in my 1931-D upgrading to a MS66 than a silly die shift. image

    <<Who in the world could ever even SEE it??>>

    Exactly: I'm still trying to see it, even with that HUGE pic. If that's a DDO, then every coin I own has a DD. This DDO business is getting out of hand, IMO. I think if you can't see it with even a loupe, it's not a DD.

    All I have to say is "DAYUMMMMMMMM" and yes, that is a triple-die strike.... It's a heck of a lot easier to see than a lot of the VAM's that I deal with in Morgan's.

    Thank you for making me feel like my coins are crap.......image
