Amnight Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Hi, I am new to these forums and was given this medal and another like it by my Great Aunt. On this medal there is doubling on some of the letters. I believe they are both zinc and weigh around 14 grams... I'm not sure what they should weigh and would like some information about them and if the doubling of the letters is normal or the medal is rare due to this. Thank you for the help!
Amnight Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 Is there a difference in the way its done or are the two words interchangeable?
paul wood Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Basically it is due to a movement of the die during striking, happens not infrequently on coins.Paul
