I've seen a lot of PMD ,but I'm having a hard time believing that these "grooves" were added by some nut case after the coin was put in circulation. Anyway...Thanks for your thoughts on a possible cause.
Looks like a 1998 one cent WAM. Too bad it has circulation damage. Now I need to find the elusive 1999 so I'll have the set. Already found two 2000 coins WAM's..Thanks
Hey Guys.. Just got through looking at one of Coop's replies to a post about Ghost Images and I remembered having this 2016 one cent coin. It took a 24 hour bath in Acetone twice and the ghost refused to go away. If it's glue, it's some mighty good stuff..Seriously...this is a weird one, but makes a great conversation piece. Thanks..Jim
Thanks Coop.. There sure are a bunch of them to go through to find just the right one. Actually, the L was the first thng I saw and that led me to checking to out.
Well...I"ll be darn. There sure are a lot of them on Vista and it took some time. Another page in my "learning book" and one more 2X2 in my collection. Thanks for the help.
I found this 1972 one cent coin in my big jar of "pennies" and after looking at the various sites suggested by CCF, it appears to be a doubled die .. Vista 003,3-0-I-CW. I'm not real sure because the coin has some circulation damage, but it sure does fit the Vista attributions. The reverse is actually a lot nicer than the obverse in my opinion. I would appreciate your opinions. Thanks..Jim
Thanks again for your comments. I'm kind of excited about finally having a doubled die and want to make sure it doesn't turn into zinc dust. Here are some photos showing that there are die chips on column 1 and 2 as well as a small die crack north of ear. Great references Coop and Spence... Slowly, but surely I'm' starting to get the hang of using the various site to either confirm or reject. my conclusions on evaluating a coin.
I have a couple of post 1982 doubled die one cent coins that I don't want to turn into zinc rot dust. Has anyone come up with a way to preserve them other than TPG encapsulating? Currently, they are in 2X2 cardboard holders. Thanks..
Just finding time to review the comments and post about my 1955 one cent coin. The photos from Kygu4545 and RW1010 appear to be coins from the same "batch" as mine. However, I think the reeded edging is more pronounced on my coin. The reeded edge goes partially into the clip, but not entirely. I find it very interesting that there are other coins with the same edge in the community considering some of the posted left concerning the authenticity of the coin. Once again, thanks to all who have posted comments and opinions..Jim
Sure is a nice 1968 s cent with DDD according to what I've seen so far on CCF. Seems that every field has doubling..In any case, I'm gonna keep it. Thanks for your input.
