bruts New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 04/18/2012 9:16 pm Just found a 1968S with double date and mm, but not doubling anywhere else. Unfortunately, it is circulated with nicks and scratches. Nice to find something nice, however, once in a while! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19963 Posts	Posted 04/19/2012 09:17 am Welcome to CC! Like John said, usually when people see "doubling" it's actually " Machine Doubling" which is actually damage caused during the minting process. It adds no value to the coin and is nothing like the more valuable "hub doubling". Lincoln Cent Lover!

wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 04/19/2012 12:48 pm It is still impressive to see, even if it is just Machine Doubling, especially on the copper cents. I have some from 1968 S as well, that I found roll searching. And I have even seen some sell on ebay for hundreds of dollars. Kind of crazy people would pay that much for it, but it has major doubling that can be seen with the naked eye. Report this Post to the Staff
