godless117 Valued Member Canada 105 Posts	Posted 10/17/2012 10:50 pm I have been going through some uncirculated rolls of 1964 pennies, and in the most recent 4 rolls I have found 20 pennies with double Elizabeth. Making this 5% of all pennies searched so far as having this variety, and I am only searching the clean ones. So maybe 75 coins total making it actually more like 1 in 4 pennies as having this error. Is this normal for coins from 1953-1964? I was wondering because its listed as other errors on coins and canada, but not in the major varieties section. Any help appreciated.

godless117 Valued Member Canada 105 Posts	Posted 10/19/2012 8:25 pm Yea I'm coming up on having almost a whole roll of them now. Went through a roll of 50 and came out with 15, this seems to be pretty consistent. Report this Post to the Staff
