brefos77 Pillar of the Community United States 792 Posts	Posted 10/11/2007 11:50 am I was sitting in prison (my job, lol) last night with my loupe and a pocket load of change and came across these coins that struck a little interest.... This first one reminded my of the 1994 with the double columns. I took two pics with different lighting. This second has what I'm guessing is a die crack going from the edge of the rim to towards the center on both sides of the coin, but not in the same place. And finally this nickel. Is there any doubling in the date, or am I trying to see something that's not there? THanks for your help! Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 10/11/2007 2:29 pm The 2000 cent is what you suggested , die cracks. The nickel shows classic Die Deterioration Doubling. Extremely common on five cent pieces. The top coin looks like the result of the die being heavily polished, dressed, abraded, whatever term you want to use , in order to remove a heavy die clash. Under the Memorial building on the right and the left, you can see the remnants of what would have been Lincoln's head after a severe clash. Report this Post to the Staff
