ctan New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 10/05/2014 2:31 pm Hi folks. I'm just wondering if you can help me out. I'm starting to get into collecting pennies and maybe you guys can put me in the right direction. Got through a bunch pennies lately and just want to ask what you guys think based on my findings. Are these double dies? RPMs? Any idea or suggestion would be highly appreciated. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right so please give me some tips or advise. Thanks so much.

Groszy Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 10/05/2014 2:36 pm Machine doubling. Not doubled dies. As for the mint-mark one, my guess is post-mint damage. A good primer for other types of doubling: http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/...Doubling.htm Report this Post to the Staff

rcliff1213 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 10/06/2014 4:22 pm It's very hard and time consuming. Have you got a penny album? 1909-58? Or a 1959-present is where I started. It makes it so when looking for errors or key dates your still getting to full fill a collection which keeps your sprit is high and keeps you looking Report this Post to the Staff
albertharris Pillar of the Community United States 901 Posts	Posted 10/06/2014 4:59 pm The flatness of the shelflike doubling is a good example of Machine Doubling. The mintmark may be a repunched mint mark, John's guessis are good ones. Double dies the doubling is more rounded, also look for the second eyelid. 1953 double die, note doubling on 1 and 9. Double die 2nd eyelid below and to the right 1956D/D rpm1 Report this Post to the Staff
