I have a big jar of old pennies & haven't been able to tell the difference of real doubling from MD or just just mere shadow. Thanks in advance for any info you can share.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/26/2020 8:37 pm Classic Die Deterioration Doubling, found on many wheats of this era but almost common on the 1955, which has earned its own nickname. Report this Post to the Staff
