This has to be doubling! But the date is not?

Is this some kind of machine doubling? The date has no doubling on it?

No that is not Machine Doubling, that is a true DDO! Nice one too. Show both obverse and reverse so we can give you an accurate grade

 

Yes, It looks good from the pics. Classic 1995 doubled die cent. I have one.

 

Nice pick. Yes, it's doubling. Looks like 1995P=1DO-001. Show us the whole coin please.

 

It is really shiny. Looks like some water spots on the reverse.

 

The "G" is a great example of notching.

 

Here are two more pics showing the mint luster better.

 

Yep! That's the one. Nice DDO!

 

It is about time I found something!! Found it in a $25 box of pennies from the bank. Thanks for the
verification.

 

Nice one! Congrats!

 

Good find, that one is worth as much, at a minimum, as the rest of that box.

 

Beautiful! Congratulations - it's an excellent find!!!!!

 

Congratulations!

 

Congratulations !

Nice pick-up & I appreciate your sharing it. I am going to post the link to this thread in the roll searching section because I think those guys might like to jump over here & see your coin.

 

In order to answer your question about why the date doesn't show the doubling.

Most people, when they think about a double die, think of the 1955 or 1972 DDO cents. Those were made with what is called a Class I doubled die or rotated hub doubling. In that case the second impression of the hub was rotated around a pivot point located at the center of the die face. The doubling is strong around the rim, but the closer you get to the pivot point the less doubling is visible.

The 1995 DDO is a result of what is called pivoted hub doubling. As with the class I, the second impression of the hub is rotated around a pivot point, but in this case the pivot pointis not located at the center of the die face. It is located just a little above the second 9 in the date. Once again the closer you get to the pivot point the less doubling there is and the date is VERY close to the pivot. IN G is just about as far from the pivot as you can get and it shows very strong doubling. LIBERTY is also very far for the pivot.

The pivot point on pivoted hub doubling can occur at any point on the die face (Or in fact even off the die face). Rotated hub doubling is actually just a special case of pivoted hub doubling where the pivot point happens to be at the center of the die.

 

See! There's more to roll searching than copper, wheats, and indians. Nice find!

 

Very nice find! I admire you folks who do the roll searching. My eyes just can't take it for very long. I love hearing about awesome finds like this one. Congratulations!

 

Brilliant find, it's in great shape!

 

A most Excellent explanation!

As for the OP! A most Excellent find!

 

I still have to find one for my birthday mint set.

Nice find!
