Kcy458 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/29/2020 7:44 pm Have a 1990 penny with what appears to be double die. Can't find out much looking around on internet to confirm such a coin even exists. Just starting to learn about coin collecting and different types of error coins. Any help confirming the coin is legit and not a fake is appreciated. On the obverse look at both number 9's. The letters (libe) and above the word (trust). On reverse only thing I've noticed is above (er). Closest coin collector from where I live is about 2 hr drive. But I'm not sure if this coin is worth the trip. Sorry for quality of pictures, all I have is my phone. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

Kcy458 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/01/2020 03:46 am I can't say I agree with you on the Die Deterioration. Wish I could send better pics. The website only allows 300kb max in a single file. I had to crop the photos several times to get the file size small enough. Unless I misunderstood what Die Deterioration actually is. I took it to be stretching. I'm my original pictures you can clearly see 3 lines next to letters "Lib" then can see a line on each of the 9's.i am new to all this and I appreciate the advice. If there is another way via email or something to where I can send you better photos please let me know Report this Post to the Staff
