Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/17/2021 06:36 am I don't think it's a Doubled Die, but just heavy Machine Doubling. The digits are reduced in size, flat and shelf-like. On doubled dies with raised devices, as seen on this coin, they should be increased in size with rounded features. Let's see what the experts think. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

BTW - here is some advice to help you save yourself a lot of time and effort: "Learning the Hobby Backwards" Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage. Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like. A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/17/2021 1:47 pm I could not agree more with Earle42. Learn the minting process and you will save lots of time by learning what is an error and what is not. Report this Post to the Staff
