rpmes Valued Member United States 388 Posts	Posted 07/28/2013 1:22 pm Well thank you all for your replies. I'm glad I came here. I also have 27 of these pennines that only have the doubling in the "O" of ONE CENT. I think I'll list them on ebay and see how they sell. But I'm keeping the 4 double dies I've found. Maybe since the 4 double die coins are all MS+ they will command a higher price for being semi key dates. I think one will actually grade MS66+. Absolutely gorgeous but too expensive to send in for certification. Have a great day all. Icer Bill, rpmes.com Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/28/2013 3:23 pm Here is what I'm not seeing on his coin: Not the devices on the last image. It is a doubled die toward the rim. Note the difference between the thickness of both images. Machine Doubling reduces the size of the devices while hub doubling enlarges the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
atchisonbj Valued Member United States 293 Posts	Posted 07/28/2013 3:31 pm rpmes: Dave42 and coop are correct: this is strike a.k.a. Machine Doubling. Dave42 wrote "Flat and shelf-like is the key for Machine Doubling" to which I add especially if you see it only on the letters and or the date --- this tends to be the most common Strike Doubling. I'm going to have to photograph that 25-S Lincoln in like AU that I bought. In the date you can see doubling on the north end of the "9" but I really think it's just Strike Doubling. I'd be happy to be wrong on this one but I don't see any doubling anywhere else for it to be anything but Strike Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
