Doubled die of the day

Hi all,

Here is my newest acquisition, the 1995 DDO die 1. Snagged it for $8 and I love it. :thumb: It is a class V (pivoted) DDO, rotated at about K-4 or K-5. Enjoy!

Awesome i found one of these roll searching not long ago.....:high5:

 

you can still find them in rolls but there extremely rare..

 

i know i have been looking but i want to find 1995d ddo.. thats the kick butt one..

 

Recently picked up a really nice 1962 doubled date (Canadian cent).

 

I'm not sure if that is a doubled die or repuched date because I am not an expert on canadian cents. You should probably post it in a different thread.

 

Hey non cents, we're ready for the next variety of the day

 

I was not aware, by the title of the thread, that this thread excluded world coins - if the moderators want to remove it, then so be it - I thought it was worth sharing, and in the right thread. But hey, while I am here, and if you want to get picky about nomenclature - is your thread referring specifically to machine doubling, ejection doubling and die deterioration doubling but not hub doubling? Hub doubling (which my example is) is the only type whereby the doubling effect is on the die itself and imparted on the coin, and not a result of the striking process. Calling machine doubling or die deterioration doubling a "doubled die" is a misnomer...

FYI - Canadian coins have not had dates manually re-punched on the dies since the mid 1940s. The dies used to strike the George VI silver 50-cent pieces were probably the last ones.

 

I don't get how people find these. There's so many pennies I search that I can't imagine looking closely at each one.

 

GreatWalrus, it definitely takes time and patience and passion also helps.

 

And 20/10 vision.

 

I'll get on it later today.

 

No disrespect, Man. This coin is a doubled die. I was pointing out the differences between machine doubling and a true doubled die. I should have been more clear about that.
I wasn't sure if your coin was a doubled die or repunched date because I am unfamiliar with the minting process of Canadian coins. If it is a doubled die, then it certainly can be in this thread.

 

I'm unfamiliar with the minting process with Canadian coins as well. I've seen some dramatic double strikes, clashes and etc. on some of the coins that come from there. It's intriguing.

 

Great coin non cents, and a great purchase! I'm sure others will have other coins to share. I'm wondering what would be the preferable way to to that?

 

Real quick off topic non cents.

Or a decent loupe. I use a 16X loupe for general searching and a USB microscope if something looks promising.

 

Nice acquisition! It's refreshing to actually see someone post a legit doubled die and use the proper terminology.

 

Amen Thad, we have to have that "D" on there. It's like mis-using "your" and "you're".

 

As discussed in another thread, doubled die is used by most numismatists to characterize doubling caused by doubling on the die. A double die is very similar except that it is a specialty coin near identical to the doubled die except a double die is more like a James Bond specialty doubled die.

 

i found 2 of these roll searching in a 6 month span? but i go through at least 3-4 boxes a week. pull all the dates out that have known dd's or rpm's and put them in individual bags and then look at them with my usb. i do it while watching a movie instead of sittiing there doing nothing. using a loop.....well that's just nuts in itself
