Welcome to CoinTalk. It helps if you can post photos with your questions. It that anything like a doubled die obverse? :smile
First, welcome to the forum! Until you get the photos, let me mention that out of 100 U.S. coins newly mentioned on the forum , probably 98-99% are either machine doubling damage or altered rather than a true doubled die like the 1955. Since a true doubled die is produced in manufacture, rather than striking a coin, it is generally noticeable to many collectors. Unless the mint were to discover the DD, most like thousands would have been produced and it would be known to many. Not trying to rain on you, just to let you know that it is unlikely. Jim
thats what it is, i has 2 everything its like the 1955, he has 2 noses 2 1s 2 9s 2 7s and 2 3s and liberty is double, also on the reverse the FG is stamped twice right next to each other so its a big Fg also i the statue in back is doubled also.
its just like the 1955 i swear, im working on the camera right now, its not machine doubleing it clearly has 2 of each everything stamped, i have the red book and all kinds of other books and have seen nothing like this other then the 1955.
It is extremely rare to have a true doubled die obverse AND reverse on the same coin. Doubled dies are rare and the chances of a doubled obverse die being paired with a doubled reverse die are extremely small. If such a pairing had been made we would have known about other examples that were struck by these dies before now. Chances are 99.42% that what you have is strike doubling. We can't help you any further until you post some good photos.
He swears that they are doubled dies, so I believe him. I think that with the right marketing he might get as much as two cents for them if he sells them as a lot.
I just found 1989 double die x4 1973 double die x2 1991 double die x2 1983 double die x5 and a 1956 double die coin roll hunting anybody know how rare they are
