"Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun"

OriginalDan

Ok, that may be the slogan from an 80's doublemint gum commercial, but I'm having double the fun with a recent purchase - a double struck 8 reales.



I love the close-up shots and I know some of you do too...






I've seen a number of double struck and even triple struck coins in this series. Post your multiple struck coins of any darkside series below!

Beautiful coin and sweet DD

Thanks, I agree. More accurately though, this isn't a doubled die. The coin was struck more than once creating the ghosting effect you see in the pictures above.

Nice!

Dan,

Yuck. Double yuck. Quit buying defective/dreck stuff. I'm tired of repeating myself. I'll do you a favor and take this off your hands, and I won't charge your for the privilege.

To be honest, I miss the good old days of folks not being afraid of buying raw stuff. The light side is filled with arguments over plastic and labels. Here at the dark side, we seem have one less reason for argument (at least for now for many of us).

Yeah, take that aspect out of collecting and it's really quite fun!

One of the best portraits that I have seen of Ferdinand VII.

Kinda reminds me of "Longacre" doubling (sp?) especially photo #4 and some in #3

Almost looks like somebody really hit those punches home hard, with a heavy hammer hand. (Like the alliteration there?)

LochNESS

I do!
