Double Denomination
Error Coins


For there to be a double denomination, the coin must fit inside the collar of the second denomination. As as example, you should never have a half dollar struck a second time by cent dies. The half dollar coin is to big to fit into the collar for a cent. But you could have a cent struck a second time with half dollar dies. ( Never Say Never when it comes to error coins! Anything is possible under the right conditions.)
