Tech418 Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 04/18/2016 9:36 pm Thank you bud. Pretty cool looking. Deserves to be in a sleeve. Speaking of wheat pennies... I think I found a 1918 with a lamination issue. Not sure but kinda resembles one. Report this Post to the Staff

They are bought and sold everyday. Severe MD, well placed chips, cracks, greasers, etc. If they are interesting or unique, there is definitely a market in numismatics. Some of them rival the values of mid to low range traditional varieties and errors. Report this Post to the Staff
MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 03/30/2021 8:01 pm I have a 1990P quarter like this but the doubling runs from the head to under the chin. I thought maybe Machine Doubling but then I looked at other examples with the familiar flat shelf like appearance and sort of mushy details. I started thinking perhaps it was something like an eroded die. Since I am no expert in this field I just put it in a 2x2 and labeled it as "double face". I like it even it it not valuable.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/30/2021 8:22 pm I call this a high bounce. Note it didn't affect the motto, but bounced high enough, to not touch those devices. Report this Post to the Staff
