  In order to be considered a saddle strike, the strikes must have been done simultaneously.

  The dies appear to be aligned correctly for it, but there isn’t much hump.

  perhaps it is the wording but how can "strikes" be done simultaneously when it is only possible to do 1 strike at a time with an anvil die?

  The Mint has used dual and quad Bliss presses to strike multiple coins at the same time.

  so then "obviously" the dies were sitting VERY close together? out of all the images and diagrams i have viewed, i've never seen such a thing. anyone got a pic?

  Here are dual collars that were used at the San Francisco Mint in the 60s. I don’t have photos of the press.

  Now that is different.... I would think TPG authentication would be a good thing with an error like this. Cheers, RickO

  This coin is significantly curved in the middle.

  i don't recall seeing this, hearing about them or anything of the like. NOW i wonder just what else has escaped my numismatic radar that shouldn't have, oh wait probably a LOT.

  tyvm for posting the images.
