1871 gothic florin with double struck 6 in die number?

I keep moving some of your posts Coins4u because I don't feel they are not really varieties. They are interesting to see, but in this case the 'variety' has been caused as a by-product of mass production methods.

These are double cuts on the various digits, not double struck. If they were double struck, the rest of the detail would be doubled too. It may be done to reinforce a weak letter on an old die or may be the result of successive punch actions imperfectly superimposed on a new die. In the case of the former, it is almost certain that the punch used to reinforce the character will not have precisely the same footprint.
