It's very important to have in the title. * This is my father in laws. He is trying to find out if this is a true double stamp. We cannot find another one like it. Thank you!

It may have been glued to another cent and picked up the details of that coin as it dried. You may want to see if it chips off or you can soak the coin in acetone. If you use acetone make sure to follow the directions on the label. Acetone is flammable and can cause an explosion if used incorrectly.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 04/14/2024 7:44 pm Usually the second strike will flatten the details of the first strike on coins that are double struck. It also will involve all of the raised devices on the coin, not just a central area as seen here. Here are a few other coins that have glue that was thought to be a double struck coin. http://goccf.com/t/450099 http://goccf.com/t/446583 http://goccf.com/t/444727 This is what I would expect to see if it were a true double struck coin and both sides would show some doubling of details.

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 04/14/2024 8:20 pm @addy, first welcome to CCF. Second, can you please tell us the date and mint for this cent? I'd like to add this information to the title. Thx.

Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 04/14/2024 10:01 pm I fixed the first picture for you; it had the word "stamped?" over-writing part of the filename. Spence, you can a now see the date and mintmark. The other key indicator that it's glue (or some glue-like substance) stuck to the coin is the ring of different colour, that just happens to coincide with the area where the double-struck details appear. The metal in this area looks un-oxidized, as if something was physically separating the coin from the air only at that point. This clearly indicates to me that whatever caused the double-striking, also caused the discoloration. You can even clearly follow the "shoreline" of where the blob of glue is or isn't. A double-struck coin shows none of these features. A layer of glue is the most logical explanation for this appearance. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73793 Posts	Posted 04/15/2024 01:27 am Agreed, just glue or epoxy. A pure acetone soak should take care of it. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
