AdamN New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 01/15/2017 7:09 pm I am slowly learning more about doubled die coins but this one caught my eye... Is it in fact a good find or just a plain 1917 Wheat penny? Opinions needed. Thanks! Adam Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 01/15/2017 9:29 pm I can't really tell from these pictures, so can you post clearer/closer ones? This was the first doubled die I ever found, so naturally I had to take a look. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/16/2017 5:22 pm I certainly can't see evidence of the doubling from these pics. I've only seen a few of these over the years, but it's almost a naked eye pickup because the motto and date appear thicker than normal. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/16/2017 5:28 pm As mentioned the Motto is also affected by the hub doubling: Note how the hub doubling enlarges the size of the devices? We don't see that on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
