VNLRRP New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 08/09/2006 1:56 pm Yesterday, feeling strong enough to sit at my 'puter after recently becoming a 'cancer survivor', I opened a roll of Jeffersons and found a couple of varieties for which I have been unable to find a published image, or description. I'm hoping someone here might be able to help direct me to an on-line source of identification of the varieties: http://home.jps.net/~pmarche/Vc1959DD.jpg http://home.jps.net/~pmarche/Vc1959Dddr2.jpg Any helpful comments will be appreciated.

The first one took me a second to realize what I was looking at, but it seems like even better doubling. Will you post some pics of the whole thing so I can see how it looks with the whole thing?

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 08/09/2006 2:33 pm Hi VNLRRP The second coin is Mechanical Doubling, this type of doubling adds no value to the coin. The first one maybe a a D over D it is hard to tell from the pics,, My resources do not list an OMM for the 1959-D. Rick Edited by Metalman 08/09/2006 2:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
VNLRRP New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 08/09/2006 3:07 pm Scans of both reverses posted in same order as original coin (variety) scans. http://home.jps.net/~pmarche/1959DD.jpg http://home.jps.net/~pmarche/1959Dddr.jpg I'd be interested to know why a full scan of the coin is necessary(?) to make a decision about whether there's doubling when there's ample evidence within the enlargement. Too, isn't 'doubling' the substance of variety, regardless of method? R. Report this Post to the Staff

Bobal27 New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 08/09/2006 3:14 pm I just wanted to see if it could have been caused by wear, and if there isn't any evidence of wear(which there isn't) it helps me to be sure sbout it. That said, you have some beautiful coins there, both of which seem to be errors. I love the look of them. I'm not an expert, and don't even come close to considering myself one. But they look great, in my opinion. Edited by Bobal27 08/09/2006 3:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
