Are not pennies formed from a single layer of their metals. If so, how could one layer peel off of itself? Obviously it's a double dye but that doesn't explain it peeling off from itself. Hope pics are good enough. Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/23/2023 8:29 pm It looks like Machine Doubling, not a doubled die. The size of the letters and digits is reduced. On a Doubled Die they would be wider or longer and the doubled area would be rounded, not flat and shelf-like. I can't see where the copper is lifting, but it sounds like it may be a lamination. The metal was mixed poorly and a layer can actually fall away from the coin, in some cases. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T!

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/23/2023 8:36 pm to the CCF Not a doubled die. That is a very good example of Machine Doubling. I would keep it for reference. Yoko, the op thinks it was "stamped" twice creating a double. Edited by Cujohn 07/23/2023 8:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 07/23/2023 8:41 pm This would be MD that we are looking at - DDD will trend towards the rim as the die wears out. Collecting since 1972.

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 07/23/2023 10:05 pm Dearborn, I don't think that's a rule, I've seen many examples of DDD that do not trend toward the rim Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15392 Posts	Posted 07/24/2023 05:30 am Agreed - nice example of Machine Doubling. @OP - coins are minted using a die not a dye. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Thank you for that information. cujohn and nickelsearcher, my bad, I will make an effort to use the proper terminology. I know it can become annoying. Anyway, again , thank you.
