Peele New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 08/30/2015 2:24 pm Hi, Is this coin a possible double die. It looks like that through my microscope, but the pictures and my technique (in another post asking for help) are not as clear. Any help would be appreciated? THank you, Peele Dunn Report this Post to the Staff

Peele New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 08/30/2015 7:21 pm Thank you for the reply. Master hub doubling ... every week I learn a little more. Thanks again for being kind to a newbie, Peele Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 08/30/2015 8:54 pm Peele, the master hub was doubled in 1972. All the dies were created by it, therefore all 1972 pennies are doubled dies. Very common though. Report this Post to the Staff

All the dies were created by it, therefore all 1972 pennies are doubled dies. Very common though. That is not quite correct, there were two master dies, one of which was doubled. This is not one of them....I'm sure coop has a good photo of the doubled master die on here somewhere, it has a telltale hump on the top of the B in LIBERTY that is easy to see without closeups....once you are familiar with it.

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 08/31/2015 9:45 pm I guess those would be of the EDS variety. Report this Post to the Staff
