dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 06/02/2009 2:10 pm after a couple of "mint doubling" mistaken for doubled dies, this time I believe I have found one. this one was found while roll searching, form a bank box. after spending some time on coppercoins advanced search, I believe this may be a 1960D-MM-005, or MM-007. I am having difficulty identifying the other die markers. this is a scanned image. I havent been able to get a quailty photo, yet. any help is appreciated, thanks Report this Post to the Staff

You coin is stronger so I think it is 007, but a closer image would help. http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds Report this Post to the Staff
meckl9 Valued Member United States 326 Posts	Posted 06/02/2009 6:17 pm Congratulations on your find. Were you excited? I've yet to find a Double die but I'm still looking patiently. It amazes me that there are so many error coins being used on a daily basis that just slip through people hands without them ever even knowing.

dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 06/02/2009 8:01 pm meck19: absolutely - I was excited. this is my first legit DD ever. I have been collecting coins for over 45 years. I have only recently discovered the world of varieties, and errors. I found a terrific Cud nickel. and a couple of very nice " Machine Doubling". it is encouraging to find a small jewel. it is enough to keep up the interest. actually - it is of small interest that I have been looking at coins with a 30x loupe, and am not quite able to tell if I have something or not. I just obtained a 60x - 100x microscope ($13.50 shipping included) and this 1960 is the first coin I looked at under the scope. of course I was holding it in a "check closer" stack - pending the microscope.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/02/2009 10:07 pm Well it really a variety, a RPM. A doubled die is a different type of variety. In each case the die is hub doubled (Doubled Die) or the mint mark punching are showing a spread of the two/three/or more punching. A nice doubled die looks like this: Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 06/03/2009 10:13 am The coin is an example of 1960D-1MM-007. A couple of things to note... 1. There is no such thing as 'mint doubling' - I assume you mean ' Machine Doubling'. 2. Doubled dies and repunched mintmarks are two completely different things with two completely different causes. Your coin is a repunched mintmark - not a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff
