I suppose that the word 'recut' would work, even though it might not be accurate.

FlipOfACoin -- I think you could easily sell the coins -- provided each one comes with a reprint of coppercoins explanation. You two work out the details. It's all about marketing.

Thanks to you all for the education! Pretty soon I'm going to start sounding like I know something when I go to my coin club meetings.

FlipOfACoin:coop: Does that mean the coins are not listed in that reference manual? Is that good or bad? What should I do with the coins?

That's true. I was looking through and it isn't a full reference of all dies. More or less a Greatest finds thing. I was reading through it today and found something interesting in the "Forward". Something I didn't see before.

coppercoins--you're right, I was calling it MD simply because I know it isn't actual die doubling. That's an error on my part.

Still a mystery though. I would say I find more '64s with the strange doubling than without.

The coins probably WOULD sell...but I would have no part of it. They have no numismatic premium, so I would be against selling them at a premium just because you can. Very few people look for them or collect them, and a lot of us who find them toss them back because they are nothing special.

coppercoins I didn't mean to imply that the coins would be worth anything to collectors --- EXCEPT for us newbies. The actual coin -- along with a copy of the explanation -- would be reference materials.

I am certain that I have examples of MD and probably some other common 'errors' or varieties, but I can only compare what I have in hand to photos and I cannot be certain.

I suppose I am a bit impatient as this seems to be taking forever for me to learn. Also, {poor, pitiful me) the only coin that I've ever seen with real doubling is the 1955 cent -- a little out of reach for me (since I blow my coin budget on silver).

Searching for errors and such gives me something fun to do but it isn't easy to learn.
