Hello everyone,

You'll have to bear with me on this one. Just showing off some coins I came across recently and wanted to see if some were RPM, doubling or double dies. I started looking at the center of the lettering and sometimes I come across coins like shown below.

Not sure if this would count as doubling. The 5 is a little thicker and there is a line down the center of the 9.

This one I am curious. I see B's in Liberty from time to time like this one. Where it looks to be like a window in the center of a B. There is some slight doubling? This correct?

D over D?

This one I am curious about too. Sometimes I see E's, C's with the tips that look like this < how it splits. Not sure what that is, or if it indicates doubling.

Not sure if this is doubling or what. But the 9 looks to wrap around and under. Hope the photos show it good on here.

This next one. .maybe a double ear? the thing is though, it's on a 1985.

1990 you'd have to zoom into the 9's on this to see it better. could be machining. But the letters above show this.

This is on a 1940's nickle. Looks to be a slanted D over D. I found 3 of these. One with a D under an S also. But not sure if this has something a little extra between the O and N. It's raised. Not sure if there is anything to it.

Came across two really nice 1969's. Don't think these are anything. But the tips of the 6 and 9 seem to be splitting.

S over D

doubling or 2 over 2? there is a little peak of the 2 at the tip and then as it curves towards the bottom.

Might have to zoom in on this one. Really nice 72. With the 9 and 2. There is a line in the center. This is what I should be looking for, right?

I need to find this one again to take more pictures.

And the last one. This doubling or machining? I thought machining, but then some overlap. The rest of the coin I didn't see anything.

Thanks for sticking with me!

You should have individual topics for each of these coins, it's much better than a jumble of photos. However, I don't see any major errors or varieties here.

I'll help you out with explanations:

Photo #1: The last number in the date tends to be the one most affected by Die Deterioration, that is what's happening here.
#2: Strong MD, letters decreased in size.
#3: Die Deterioration, note the heavy die flow towards the rim.
#4: Split copper plating. The zinc core is exposed and will likely corrode soon. Happens frequently around the mintmark on 1980s-1990s cents.
#5: I'm not sure whether the notching is actually on the coin or if it's due to the lighting in the photo but the extra thickness seems normal for a large date 1982 cent.
#6: Contact Mark/Damage
#7: Looks normal to me
#8: Looks normal
#9: Just like #5, extra thickness is normal for large date 1982.
#10: Lighting isn't good enough to really see what's going on but looks normal from what's in the image.
#11: Really can't tell for sure wih this image, heavily circulated.
#12: If it is raised, then likely a die gouge
#13: MD or lighting
#14: Definitely MD
#15: There are no D/S or vice verse known after the 1950s, many believe they are impossible after that point. Not really seeing a D anyway.
#16: Master die doubling
#17-#20: Master die doubling and MD
#21: Can't see anything
#22-#25: Since those letters are incuse a doubled die would actually make them thinner. This is MD or Die Deterioration Doubling.

Overwhelmed. You'll get much better feedback showing these one at a time.

The reason one coin per thread is that with a large number doesn't allow a description of what you are looking at. Instead you just get an answer without knowing what you are seeing on each coin. Best to see what we see on the coin. Then you will know what you are seeing with your own eyes.

On the 1990, I think is see some splits on the right bottom of the R, and the top tip of the E. It might just be glare but I'll wait for others to chime in.
