chugly Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 5:11 pm Hello again, I picked up an original roll of 1960-D's the other day and just went through it. In addition to several nice RPM's, I found three examples of this coin. There is something funny going on on the first 9 of the date and above the 0 as well. This die looks similar to 1960D-1DO-003 and the mint mark position looks correct. Alas, none of the die markers match up to that listed on Coppercoins. Therefore, I am posting it here for some of your opinions. I apologize for some of the pictures, these coins were hard to image due to being so shiny. Thanks again! Obverse Reverse Close up of the lower area of the first 9 in the date. There appears to be doubling along the right side of the 9 approximately level with the top of the mint mark. Close up of the upper area of the first 9. I hope you can see the doubling here despite the lighting hot spot. Doubling to the north on the 0? Liberty Die crack on column 12.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/10/2011 4:46 pm Looks like some Machine Doubling on L on LIBERTY and the 0 in the Date. The location of the mint mark looks close, but the mint mark has a RPM (looks like an EAST) on it and it wouldn't be from the same die as 003. But better images posted on the coppercoins forum might reveal more information. Bob might like to look closer to it? Report this Post to the Staff
oldcollectorcoins New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 09/04/2011 03:19 am Hello. With the thickness of the 9 and the reverse diagnostic this is a very easy variety to attribute. Only need these 2 diagnostics to attribute. Really only the 9 once you get used to looking at them. Look between the columns 4-5 from the right. There should be a simple feature to recognize. It is the 5th image down the page on copper coins for the 1960 D 1DO-003. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 09/04/2011 08:46 am Two things: 1. This is not from the same die as 1960D-1DO-003, but could possibly be a doubled die - needs to be examined. 2. The die clash on the reverse is common to a number of different dies and cannot be used by itself as a determinant that you have any specific die. It is to be used only as a helper with other markers already present. Report this Post to the Staff
oldcollectorcoins New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 09/05/2011 02:37 am . . I should also mention that all of the ones I've found thus far all had the "theoretical" 3rd 9 northwest of the 9. A small marker easily visible at 9x with my zeiss. All had the rev "die clash" between columns 4-5 and thickness of the leg of the 9. . . None of mine have that die crack/chip on the first column from the right. . . Also all of mine have sever die polish lines on the obv/rev . . Report this Post to the Staff
