Longacre designed some coins. His design appeared as doubled. Some say he did it on purpose.

Good pictures! Work on your lighting (peruse previous topics) and hopefully the cheap microscope will work until you decide you need THAT in your pictures.  |

Master die doubling. A large percentage of the 1972 cents from all three mints has this type of doubling:  |

Thanks for this post Kid. I just found one, (like the one in Coop's pics). This is a fairly easy Doubled Die to find. It's always nice turning pennies into dollars. I'll take some pics and post it soon.

This is a fairly easy Doubled Die I wouldn't keep it. Most of them have master hub doubling. |

I will keep all I can find, Kid. Pennies to dollars is quite a mark up. Just five bucks is 500%, where else can you find a return like that? I too, stack silver, but as long as there are dollars, I stack them too.

You continuously impress me, KId. I think you will do very well in life. Somehow, I think it will be coin-related. A coin-related career runs quite a gambit. It could include anything from reaching the hyper-status of a Mike Diamond, to standing on a city street corner with a cup. lol

 Thank you very very much! Hopefully when my knowledge of coins is greater, and my grading skills better, I could be a pcgs/ngc grader! And slowly climb my way to the top. Hahah. And if all else fails, sell the valuable coins I get from people to my lcs. Lets hope I don't travel that path though. |

I've been doing some research, Kid. I see what you were talking about. You are right, The Master Die Doubling alone carries no premium. I found this beautiful 1972-D Doubled Die penny, and it's only worth about face value because there are so many of them. If I am correct there are some DD,s for the year that do carry a premium, though. The link Cwb posted here shows the good ones.
Every time I think I'm getting educated, I realize how ignorant I am. I don't think there is an end to it, but I sure wouldn't want to go back to the start point.
