Strike Doubling is restricted for any premium! Why?

Hi guy's, We are constantly bombarded with threads about the dreaded "Strike doubling". So, in saying that I always wondered Why? Why shouldn't this misfit of coins get any respect as other defects, true doubling or error coins do? Isn't this still a mistake made by the Mint, capable of receiving some sort of addition in the error/variety family? Just wondering? Thanks in advance.-joeyimage

    Because it's not linked to any one set of dies.

    Always figured it had more to do human error that mechanical error.

    .

    had to think about it but for me it is usually ugly and i can find beauty in most things.



    it is at the minor end of the spectrum of striking errors.



    o/c, brockage, d/s, clips, cuds etc are simply tastier to me.

    Because it's common.



    Because it's an unavoidable side effect of the way coins are manufactured, and therefore of little interest.

    It is an error but a minor one which is extremely common and almost all have no premium.

    A few extreme examples seem to carry a premium.

    Because it is not on the die and is created at striking.

    I do have a set of these going for the Mercury Dimes.......for fun only.

    If it were up to me I would value almost all doubled dies as pretty much equally worthless, except for special examples such as the 1955, but I also think the 1955 is extremely overpriced. I say this because even though strike doubling is much more common, they both look very very similar as a finished product. My 2C opinion speaking as an error (but not variety) collector.

    IMO, if the Strike Doubling is unique enough, or bold enough, then somebodies gonna pay a premium for it.



    I was offered a premium for this 1967 Kennedy SMS Coin:

    I really enjoy radical (true) doubling.. but strike (or machine) doubling is usually minor (as is some true DD). If I need magnification to see it, then I lose interest. Cheers, RickO
