  sinnedttam74 While the coin you have does have some doubling the result of a worn die or loose part it is not the collectible kind. The collectible kind is called Doubled Die as John1 pointed out is called that due to the die being doubled that is used to make the coin. Keep up the search  |

I think so,your pics need to be better. Practice Practice Practice. What is your setup for taking coin pics? Maybe we can give you a few tips. John1 |

Sorry to be a pain and ask so many questions but this 53 penny, the date looks damaged but (it may just be me wishful thinking) when I move the camera around the date seem to move, its as if the coin has turned then been stamped again. Look at the 1 it seems to bend. And the 5. Like I said could be wishful thinking or to many late nights looking through pennies lol   |

I have a box that I put 2 lights into and then I use my phone with a HD camera app to take the pictures. Except with these one I didnt use the box. I do need to know, do you put the coin on an angle when taking the picture or flat?

Flat or very slightly angled. But try this to reduce glare... stack a few books in your box then put the coin in the shadow of the books. You can also use the books to steady the camera  |

A little out of focus and a little yellow looking. It also looks like a worn die. John1 |

So does that mean the stamp was worn out?

It means the "die" was worn. John1 |

Here is a clear illustration:  Note the devices on the right side of the coin show the Die Deterioration on the right side of the devices. The devices on the left side will show Die Deterioration towards the left. The Motto shows Die Deterioration towards the tops of the devices. Die wear/deterioration is usually towards the rim. |
