One50 Valued Member United States 361 Posts	Posted 03/20/2016 12:02 am A friend dropped off a bunch of coins his Dad left him. He has a bunch of Australian coins, which I am quickly learning about. Actually I have never seen an Australian coin in my life. I found this one cent that seems to be a double die error. I have no others to compare it to and I'm having a heck of a time finding any thing online about this coin in general. Please let me know your thoughts if this is truly an error or common thing for this coin. If I hit the jackpot, let me know too so I don't just toss it back in the jar with the rest They are a little blurry, but you see it very well. Thanks Dan Report this Post to the Staff

One50 Valued Member United States 361 Posts	Posted 03/20/2016 11:45 am Now that we have come to that conclusion. Rare, common? Toss it in a 2x2 or send it to PCGS? Your thoughts please. Thanks Dan Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 03/20/2016 12:28 pm Machine Damaged (MD) Relatively common and confused with actual doubling. Here's a link to help explain: http://doubleddie.com/144801.html Some years more than others; 1972 is a common year for extreme MD and since we have a number of legitimate doublings for the date (Lincoln Cents), the question is often asked when an example of extreme MD pops up for the date.

airgem Valued Member Australia 369 Posts	Posted 03/20/2016 4:50 pm It is Machine Doubling and I would say a little scarce but in a bulk lot you'd find a few. All the early decimal dates 1966,67,68,69 seem to be affected and don't carry much of a premium, but who cares when you are a true collector. Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 03/20/2016 4:58 pm I sometimes collect MD coins, but only if it's pretty spectacular. In this case I'd send it back where it came from as they no longer circulate or keep it as a curiosity but definitely not worth sending to PCGS. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
