Hi, This is my first post. I'll try to get it right. This coin is a little rough, but shows doubling on the reverse and possibly the date. I sell on ebay and would like to know what type of doubling this is before I list it. I thank you in advance in helping to answer my question.
and THANK YOU! Many sellers on e-bay would just call this a "double die" any not care if they were wrong.
You have two different things here. On the reverse you have classic Machine Doubling (MD). This is actually damage caused by a loose die and is common. On the date you have the effect of an aging die which is distorting the digits in the date. Your coin is worth face value.It is copper and has a little bullion value but not much.
In the future check out this site http://coppercoins.com/advsearch.php. Also, you are always welcome to post pics on this forum.Who knows you might actually get a reply from an expert.
Thank you. I don't know a lot about coin errors, but I do love to search for them. Like a treasure hunt. I hope to have more questions soon! Thanks and have a great day
