Buffalo soldat Valued Member New Zealand 225 Posts	Posted 06/07/2025 8:33 pm Is this what I've heard described as a poor man's double die? The proper ones I've looked at more recently have the doubling below the date. I don't have a photo of the reverse. I think in the end I did not acquire this piece. If I did, it has slipped off my radar into a pile somewhere. Thanks in advance. Do not read this sentence. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75443 Posts	Posted 06/07/2025 9:56 pm What you're seeing could be Machine Doubling, Die Deterioration Doubling, or light induced doubling. Hard to tell since the close up picture is a little out of focus. The Poor Man's Doubled Die only applies to the 1955 Wheat cent. The Poor Man's Doubled Die is not even a Doubled Die. It's actually Die Deterioration Doubling. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Buffalo soldat Valued Member New Zealand 225 Posts	Posted 06/20/2025 07:33 am OK, this is another 1916-P I did acquire a fair few years ago. I'm thinking it's the same sort of mechanical or other sort of doubling. It's certainly not the "proper" DDO. Agreed? Do not read this sentence. Report this Post to the Staff
