Has anyone else noticed some 1991 pennies have an extra 1 so it looks like "19911"? I found one when I first started collecting but since it wasnt in the Red Book and people online didnt know what it was I tossed it. Keep your eyes peeled for 1991 with extra 1 at the end. Not a doubled date, nothing was doubled, it just had an extra 1 at the end no other extra letters or numbers on coin

 Do you have one of these? and if so, can you post up an image. I have not heard of this until now.

I've come across thousands of '91 cents while roll hunting--both Denver and Philly mints. Never came across one with an extra 1. Just did a hasty google search and nothing turns up there either.

I dont have pics of it as it was years ago but ive found 2 of them in rolls so they cant be too rare. The extra 1 at the end wont be raised up like the rest, it will just look like a shadow of a 1 but its visible with the naked eye

Since the doubling is more like a shadow and biased toward the rim from the last digit in the date, this sounds like DDD to me.

I think what you saw was a plating bubble. There could be another coin that had a bubble in the same place maybe not exact but close.

No the 1 was in the same spot on both...The 1 looked exactly like the extra letters in the "1983 extra letters error".

I actually found the 1983 extra letter error at the same time as the 1991 extra 1, but it wasnt in the Red Book and noone knew what it was so I tossed them. I kick myself daily for it

Is the extra letters in the 1983 plate bubbling? It couldnt be pushed down...Just keep an eye out for it on 1991 coins
