pginrh Valued Member Canada 456 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 6:55 pm There are four double punched 2's for 1942.... all under the bar of the 2. I am not aware of any others. Report this Post to the Staff

I am confused, are you saying that only four have been reported or four different punch exist? Report this Post to the Staff
pginrh Valued Member Canada 456 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 8:17 pm The only non-progressive doubling that I have seen on the 1942s are the double punched 2's. You may find things like Die Deterioration Doubling (which your coins look like) but that is a progressive or die wear thing. Report this Post to the Staff
pginrh Valued Member Canada 456 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 1:20 pm Sorry having computer problems.... the four double punched 2s (different dies) as illustrated in Charltons 68th are the only non-progressive varieties of the 1942s that I know off. All else are usually wear related. Report this Post to the Staff

pginrh Valued Member Canada 456 Posts	Posted 07/14/2015 07:47 am Each year Charltons includes a Variety section on different denominations/years. The 2014 68th edition was the year for the George VI fifty cent coins. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverNcoin Valued Member Canada 68 Posts	Posted 07/14/2015 2:59 pm Since there's no big deal with this coin, I decided to clean the entire coin and yes, It was only dirt, no doubling there. So you was right. Thanks. Edited by SilverNcoin 07/14/2015 11:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
