Let me start this column off with an apology to subscribers who actually know what a coin struck with a doubled die is. I can only hope that this short explanation here and the millions of words on this subject in print and on the internet will somehow reach the eyes of the less-informed collectors among us. I’ll use a well-known and easily seen 1955 cent as an example of a doubled die.
As is common for most people who take up a new hobby, when I started published in 1960 that a friend owned.
