Cinciruss New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 07/07/2024 8:09 pm I have a 1957-D penny that I can't tell if it's a double die or just double struck . I wanted to see what others thought. My first reaction was it's a Machine Doubling because there's no clear separation of the numbers on the date, but I also don't see the flat shelf most Machine Doubling have. Then when I looked it up on wexlers I found a variety called WDDO-007 which describes what I believe my coin is. First the description describes a spread to the south on ERTY in LIBERTY. I can see that. Liberty is not straight on the coin, when you get to the E the rest of the letters curve and lean down. Also the Obverse stage B they mention describes large die chips found in the upper 9 and 5 on the numbers. It mentions other varieties that have the double eye lid to the south but I can't tell if this coin has that or not. I know there's so many varieties for that year and the condition isn't great so I don't have high hopes it's worth much even if it is a double die. Just kinda neat to see.

Cinciruss New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 07/07/2024 9:37 pm It's hard to see in the pictures, I tried taking photo from different angle. The 9 looks like it's still pretty raised at the top. The 5 is a little more flat and there's something under the top of the 5 that I thought might be from a die break. Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 07/08/2024 11:49 am very common die chips on the 9 & 5 of the date here. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/08/2024 8:12 pm to the CCF No doubling at all. Common die chips. There is no such thing as "just double struck". A double struck coin is a very good and very rare error. I'll take it over a common doubled die any day. Report this Post to the Staff
