xZACKx Pillar of the Community United States 648 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 9:26 pm I'm also EXTREMELY new to errors..I don't even know many of them yet, but in my opinion, I think it could be a DDO. Could be wrong though. Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 9:34 pm 99/99 implies Repunched Date. This could not be an RPD since the switch in the mid eighties all four digits are punched into the Galvano not on each Master Die as previously done. I think the "doubling" you are seeing is simply a plating issue. Report this Post to the Staff
DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 9:39 pm This is just a minor plating issue. Go to http://www.coppercoins.com/advsearch.php and check a few dates to get a better idea what you are looking for.Another site http://errorvariety.com/index.html might balso help you learn.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 05:10 am Correct me if I am wrong but RPD's stopped way back in the late 1800's.As for a plating issue,didn't a pro recently say this is a worn die issue? I thought is was a plating issue as well. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 07:31 am I'd call it disturbed plating doubling...a worn die will show other signs of wear.But in the end either is common on zinc cents and not really considered collectible. Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 07:36 am John, I left out a sentence....RPD's ended in the late 1800's...should have said the last two digits started to be part of the Galvano in the mid eighties. Report this Post to the Staff
