Topic: Coin die


  
  A concise description of how doubled dies occur
This class occurs when a die is used for one hubbing, and a die with a distorted hub used for a subsequent hubbing, creating an image overlapping, and spread irregularly toward the rim.
This class is caused when a die is hubbed with a hub of one design, and a second hubbing with a hub with a different design, or the same design but with slightly different positioning.
A die that was hubbed normally the first time, but the hub or die was tilted for a subsequent impression so that the hub either made partial contact with the die at one point, or a full impression that was deeper at one edge than at the other.

A coin die is one of the two metallic pieces that are used to strike one side of a coin.
Coin errors that occur on the die are generally more desirable than errors made at the time of the strike.
A broadstruck coin is generally a bit flatter and quite a bit bigger around than the regular non-error coin of the same denomination.

 Device and method for measuring coin die rotation error - Patent 4134209
Die rotation error is one factor which determines the worth of coins to coin collectors, and this invention provides rapid and accurate means for determining such errors.
In the numismatic industry (coin collecting), the value of a given coin is increased in proportion to the degree of its die rotation error, the frequency (or lack thereof) of such error in a given issue, and the rarity of the coin itself.
After the coin is positioned in the "V"-slot and vertically oriented, slide member 2 is pushed into case 3 and the outer diameter of the coin is aligned with one of the several circular indexing lines 4 which are marked on case 3 and which correspond to the diameters of all U.S. coins.

 Coin die   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
To make a coin, a thin piece of metal is placed between two dies, one with the pattern of a 'head' on it and one with the pattern of a 'tail'.
The top die is hit hard with a hammer and the pattern from the dies is impressed on the metal disc — which then becomes a coin!
Together with the coin dies were pieces of lead which had been used for testing the dies - to see that the pattern was just right before real coins were made.
