AdmiralK New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/20/2021 4:40 pm I started coin roll hunting for halves about 15 months ago and was hoping for an explanation on all of the "doubling" I see on the reverse. Mostly I see it on those minted 1971-1979, but have examples for every year through 1999 (except '87), mostly Philadelphia. Some of them look like they were struck by some drunken sailors I've served with, but I've never seen any reference to these coins being considered as error coins. Other than having them as an oddity, is there any value to them? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * * Edited by Staff to clarify topic title.

Here is a very good link: https://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles...Doubling.htm Click on the small pic on that site to enlarge them. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

That's because a Doubled Die is a variety, not an error. Any other type of doubling is considered "worthless doubling" Edited by JimmyD 07/20/2021 5:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/20/2021 6:34 pm On the larger denomination coins, the amounts are often machine doubled. Check to see what to look for on years as some have very little listings.

A lot of Machine Doubling on these years also. Report this Post to the Staff
