Pennyer New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 2:10 pm Hi everyone, I am new to the group. I will contribute what I can, but just have about 5 years of experience. I like to go roll hunting with pennies and nickles. I came across this yesterday. Never seen something like this before (See attached photos). I just need a reality check. This is a Double die with a tear? The obverse where the date looks like the first press tore a copper layer off (can see the rim in the tear), then the second stamp pressed it back down? The edge on the left suggests this is a double die? Would this be worth certifying? If so, what company would do that? Thanks much for the help, greatly appreciated.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 3:07 pm with John1. FYI: The correct terminology is that the coins are minted, not stamped, and in the minting process, they are struck only once between two dies (one die for each side) called a strike. To learn more to learn about the minting process, watch this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzqrSrU3jXg to the CFF! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 3:07 pm I agree, that is looks more like a struck through debris as it affects the rim area. The weight should be a slight amount higher if the metal was added to the coin. Looks like the metal peeled and ended up there after the strike. Not a coin to have graded as already mentioned. But some would save it for a modest premium. Report this Post to the Staff
