I was recently looking through my collection of US pennies, and I noticed that I have a 1944 - S double die penny. I cannot find any trace of this penny's existence. I looked in "The Official RED BOOK" and did not see any evidence of a 1944 double die penny. I was wondering if anyone has come across this same penny, and/or direct me in the right path to finding out how much this penny is worth?

There are different doubled dies for that year.

I have to find a quality digital camera. The numbers are almost died half way over, and some letters of Liberty are slightly double died.   12-23-2007, 05:35 PM   #4 (permalink) Rhubarb Senior Member     Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Atlanta Posts: 389 Try this link. www.coppercoins.com - Click Die variety search - Put the date and click San Fran. Maybe that would help ID it.

Except, is the doubling on the Obverse or Reverse? Best of luck with pics.

If you can provide a more close-up and in-focus picture, we might be able to make a better assessment of the doubling.
