I have a 1951 D Wheat penny that appears to have doubling on the date, mint mark, and back of coin. Is this coin a double die, and what range of value would this be? Thank you all in advance for any help! Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 08/28/2019 6:06 pm I'm not seeing anything remarkable with your specimen. If there's any minor doubling, it may well be Machine Doubling, which really doesn;t command any sort of premium.

Quadtime2000 New Member 22 Posts	Posted 08/28/2019 6:14 pm From the pictures in the link you sent, that's exactly what it looks like, Machine Doubling. Thanks for the info man I really appreciate that, as I'm new to this. So a double die error would be a doubling of the die on top, versus to the sides of the number, letter, etc?
