In addition to the five major classes of doubled die errors, there are also three minor classes. These minor classes are characterized by variations in the doubling effect that are less pronounced or less common.
Class VI – Distended doubling: This class occurs when the hub is compressed too strongly against the die, causing the metal to be pushed outward and creating a slightly distended image. This type of doubling is usually less pronounced and less common than the other classes.
Class VII – Pivoted doubling: This class occurs when the hub is rotated or moved on a point that is not located on the face of the die. In this case, the doubling effect will be more pronounced in the area opposite the pivot point.
Class VIII – Design rim doubling: This class occurs when the doubling effect is limited to the rim of the coin and does not affect the design elements. This type of doubling is generally less noticeable and less valuable than the other classes of doubled die errors.
