Can I ask you a question? How can you even know what you're looking for when you don't even know enough to know what it's called?

FWIW, that's not a doubled die. Here's a hot tip: read and learn, first; microscope and pictures, second.

 

Why is using the term 'double die' looked upon as the worst of the worst mortal sins?
Glass houses, people.

 

Iv been doing a lot of reading and learning for your information and I never said this WAS a doubled die I asked if someone could help me figure it out, because how will most people learn if they don't ask questions?? People don't all learn the same and all the books and web pages Iv read still have me a bit confused. I was hoping someone on here could better help me understand what a doubled die actually looks like from there experience, I was not looking for someone to tell me to do what Iv already been doing and further discourage me. So thanks.

 

What is one supposed to think when you don't even know what it's called when you asked the question? We're not clairvoyant.

 

You obviously knew I was mistaken and could of politely informed me of my mistake and offered you knowledge to point me in the right direction. Common curtesy is lacking horribly now a days.

 

Don't sweat it man. I see what you are talking about. Each letter looks like it has two in it. This can be a case of die bump,or you can have a slight DD. Depends really. www.doubledie.com read up on how dies are made. It gives you a better understanding of the process and what actually needs to happen for it to be a DOUBLED die. Very good information. You are going in the right direction though. You saw a penny that had the potential to be something. Nothing wrong with coming here and asking questions.

 

Thank you!

 

Especially that S. in states. I see 3 S's I believe.

 

The correct term is DOUBLED die. A die can not be double since there is only ONE die being used at a time. The correct term will be DOUBLED die. Because the die itself is still one. Just whatever on it is doubled.

 

Oh ok I see! I knew that there was only one die and that the term is doubled die sometimes my phone auto corrects it to double with out me realizing.

 

That's why they ask the questions... I didn't know all the terminology at one time so I asked questions also. I'm still learning new things after almost 30 years of collecting errors. Peace.

 

Haha I'm guilty of that Sorry..

 

Oh, your phone changed it from "doubled die" to "double die" three times. I didn't think of that. I just thought you plumb didn't know what you were talking about. My mistake. I apologize.

 

It's not looked at as a sin, really, in my opinion, anyway, it's looked at as though they don't know what they're talking about. It's like the ones who ask about their "doubled dye," or "double dye." Coincidently, they're confused. I wonder why.

 

Geez, jumping on people for calling it a double die is almost as bad as the people who scream and bitch about people calling them pennies. Sure, they are accurately known as doubled die cents, but in the list of numismatic sins.... these are incredibly insignificant. There is really more important stuff to make a big deal about.

As for the OP's coin: you appear to have some very minor strike doubling (machine doubling). Checking the CONECA files, there are no known DDRs for 94D.

Keep looking though, you'll find one eventually!

 

Who's jumping? If that was a reference to me, I was inferring, not jumping, get it straight.

 

Yes, that was definitely a reference to you. There was absolutely no "inference" in that first post of yours, as much as you try to backpedal. That was full on jumping.

 

What's your inference when somebody is calling a "doubled die" a "double die" three times? I'd like to hear it.

 

Half the time, I call it a double die. I infer nothing. Its not a big deal to me. I infer a lot more from the rest of the post, the question being asked, the coin being pictured, and the context of the use.

From the OP - I infer that Tasyia doesn't know a whole lot about varieties and is trying to learn. Pointing out the differences between MDD and DDRs, pasting a link, directing them to a book - in short, educating - is going to be far more useful and helpful than inferring or jumping or whatever it is you did.
