I can't think of any double die coins that I have in my collection. I'll share this one though just for participation. Machine Doubling I believe.  |

 Repunched "0" in the date. Not the best picture, so it's a bit hard to see. |

I have a few doubled dies around, better pull out this one I found coin roll hunting nickels a few months ago... 1939 Jefferson nickel, DDR... 19 letters doubled, or 19 points...     Oh, and I also managed to find the same exact greek coin Dorado has with that same doubling... Edited by mrwhatisit

Another idea: I also like my coins with holes... This is a Laos 1952 50 cents with a tiny center hole. The challenge: post any coin with the smallest center hole you can find in ratio to the total diameter of the coin. For instance, this coin is 31mm, and the center hole is 4.5mm, so 4.5/31×100 = 14.5% of the total diameter of my coin. The winner would have the smallest hole percentage total.    The coin has to have been minted with a hole to count, or a coin that had a hole put into it at a later time by the same government... |

Netherlands East Indies, 1945, 1 Cent.  Hole Percentage: 5/23.5 * 100 = 21.3%. |
