Colombia: 1 centavo 1969, km205a, double die?

Hi,

a swap friend of mine (Ina Huitema) has documented those interesting double dies. I suppose there must have been at least 2 different dies, where the engraver managed to create:
1. a double 1 and two well separated second 9's in the first die
2. only a kind of joined second 9's in the second die
3. maybe a perfect die as well, without any doubling in a third die, but we haven't found any yet.... do you have any in your posession?

Do any of you have any other explanation of this starnage doubling, since it cannot have happened when striking the coins (my humble opinion)?

Hey Ole
   To me it looks like,When they stamp the date in the 1 and or 9 jumped and hit again. I think it is a die mistake. Or two die mistakes. Here is one of mine

when dies are used a lot, they also get a little bit 'worn'
mostely they are 'revived' by cutting them again.
this can be the case here
