coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 04/13/2010 07:01 am It's not "re-engraved". That's improper terminology to describe a second set of letters. Back then many people didn't have a clue what a doubled die was. $20 back in the 60s was way too much money for it. Even in today's equivalent it wouldn't be worth it with scratches on the obverse. At best I estimate the value as VF-EF value with scratches on an AU coin, and that value would run around $80-$90. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 04/13/2010 07:14 am thanks, copper, et al. My dad was a savvy collector. I cant say I was back then; I was quite young, starting my collection when I was about 10 yrs old. I cannot think of any key date in the major coin denominations we did not acquire. More amazing are some of the duplicates and triplicates of key dates and varieties. Our collections began with my grandfather back in the 1800's Report this Post to the Staff
copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 04/13/2010 5:25 pm Definitely the Doubled Die; very nice! I've found hundreds of 1939's in the 17,000 rolls of nickels I have gone through the last few years, and I have yet to come across one. Would love to, though! Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 04/14/2010 12:30 am Very nice find indeed. I think I would have passed out if I stumbled upon such a fine example as this one. Report this Post to the Staff
Halfwitty Pillar of the Community United States 1523 Posts	Posted 04/14/2010 12:40 am I would have it slabbed even though it's not extremely valuable but if in the future you decide to sell,possible finding a better example,there will be no doubt of it's authenticity. Report this Post to the Staff
