  It's doubling caused by a machine. The hubbing machine.

  I've heard the term double die and just assumed it was a coin struck twice with the second time slightly out of alignment. Apparently there are more methods of double dies. I checked out the Lingo section for machine double die and could not find it. Can someone give a quick explanation or even a tutorial link?

  I can think of a dozen reasons not to have high capacity magazines, but it's the reasons I haven't thought about that I need them.

  The term doubled die is caused by the machine that makes the final die The hub is a reverse of the normal die and it is sunk into the die to make the die for striking. It used to take more than one impression of the hub to make the final die. If they are slightly out of alignment between those two impressions(or however many) you will get a doubled die. All coins struck off that die will show the doubled image.
  A double strike is a different beast. Two or more hits of a normal die on the same coin.

  Machine doubling is just a slight movement of the die in relation to the coin during the strike. Some of the raised metal gets moved a bit one way or the other. Only struck once.

  Almost certainly has a barcode. If it doesn't I want to see it. Look on BACK label.
