shootnstarz Valued Member United States 477 Posts	Posted 08/04/2013 09:39 am I have several pennies in my collection in 2x2s marked "55, poor mans double die" and some marked "shifted 5". I can't seem to find anything on these other than the normal double die strikes. I'm certainly not experienced enough to look at them to see what they are. Anybody have any idea on what these might be? Rick * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

JJHFL Valued Member United States 395 Posts	Posted 08/04/2013 10:04 am Im assuming you acquired the flips with someone elses description of poor mans double die? Would need some pics to verify, but I am going to guess they are going to be machine doubled coins, not double dies. Report this Post to the Staff
shootnstarz Valued Member United States 477 Posts	Posted 08/04/2013 10:34 am Yes, I acquired them from a passed coin show dealer and I assume it's his writing on the 2x2s. I'll crack a couple open and try to take some pics. Rick Report this Post to the Staff
