I have no clue about the doubling, but I do know that you will need to provide pics of the entire obverse and reverse for grading.  |

Ok, I believe you are correct. I thought I saw a secondary image around all of the 9 in the date, but it was only on one side.

tights24, I am sorry, DUH! well if I find out it is a double die then I will post pictures of both sides but as of right now everyone seems to be leaning away from it BUT I will say compared to pictures I have of a 1962 DDO mine is very similiar ecspecially with the nose and the RU in trust. |

I'm not taking sides of who is right or wrong. I only "agree" that what I am seeing from the photos is Die Deterioration Doubling. As with any suspected/possible variety, the coin needs to be actually examined to make a final determination. |

this one has thrown me off because around the bowtie and below does look totally different than a regular cent, I am guessing Die Deterioration? but what made me think it could be the DDO is the doubling on the nose and the doubling on RU matched the book pretty good, the date has some doubling also but wasnt sure about it, here is a closer pictures of top of the U in TRUST,this is what made me suspect it in the first place.  |

Seems like you're getting good feedback. I would certainly be interested to see what Coppercoins thinks prior to making a decision though....

Die Deterioration Doubling does not just happen on nickels - it can happen on any coin from any denomination. This, however, is not Die Deterioration Doubling. This is Machine Doubling. Die detarioration doubling is the result of pieces of the die chipping away leaving more cavity for the metal of the planchet to fill. This results in extra thickness of the letters, usually all the way around. Machine Doubling is the simple result of a die bouncing affecting the edges of the letters. No extra thickness, no die chipping involved. This die is very worn, but the doubling is on the face of the normal letters, nothing added to them - Machine Doubling.

Not trying to bog this thread down but is my original opinion that deterioration happens MOSTLY on nickles correct? That is to say I have not come across any Die Deterioration on a cent as of yet. Michael |

Yes, true...I was tired and for some reason read "only on nickels" - you are correct, my bad. Nickels are the most common because the metal is the hardest of all used to strike coins. The dies tend to deteriorate much faster than with other denominations. I have seen it on cents, but it's kinda scarce. I have never seen it on silver or gold. Most common other than Jefferson and Buffalo nickels--clad Washington quarters. |

Still at coin shows these do sell for more than a normal coin of the same date and grade. Example is the 55 Poor man's Lincoln that I've seen for well into the $20 range lately. At coin shows I've been going to lately ALL error coins are becoming expensive and there is one dealer that sells mothing but errors at one show. He has many like this and not cheap.
