I am not an error collector, but is something like this common? Before coming to CCF I never would even notice something like this. Report this Post to the Staff

Jays-Dad Pillar of the Community United States 790 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 8:27 pm Just found this one which doesn't look like it has the same doubling effect. http://cgi.ebay.com/Panama-1-2-Cent...BU_W0QQitemZ 160250898133QQihZ006QQcategoryZ45147QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Report this Post to the Staff
hc8604 Valued Member United States 303 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 9:49 pm Looks like the date came off a US V nickel. Not sure how early Panama coins were made in the US, but this could be one of them. Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 9:56 pm Jays-Dad- According to Krause, coins of this date and denomination are very frequently seen struck from a doubled die. In fact, a 1/2 centisimo that does not have doubling is somewhat scarce. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 06/18/2008 12:01 am Seeing the separation of serifs I would guess DDO as well. The date must have been on the hub. Report this Post to the Staff
Jays-Dad Pillar of the Community United States 790 Posts	Posted 06/25/2008 2:39 pm I bought both of them and they are beautiful. One has the great doubling and is XF, the other is just a gorgeous Unc with no doubling. According to my findings, these were made in Philadelphia so....how cool are these! I never looked for a double die before CCF and think this is better than trying to get a US double die (too expensive). Report this Post to the Staff
