BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4593 Posts	Posted 02/10/2023 7:16 pm Doubled die - this means that during the manufacture of the die (the piece that strike the planchet to make the coin), part of the design was pressed in twice. This causes the struck coin to exhibit doubling. https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...erse-rd/2923 Probably the most famous doubled die is the 1955 cent - look at the 5s! https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...erse-bn/2825 Compare the 69 with the 5s - you'll see doubling, but nowhere near as dramatic as the 5s. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

Here is some more info as we discuss it regularly but most unfortunately are not THE doubled die everyone wants http://goccf.com/t/430794#3703248 Report this Post to the Staff
