Here are some of my recent purchases regarding errors. More to follow so enjoy. These are not my photos but there are used with permission. They are my coins-Now.
CLASS V or Pivoted Hub Doubling. The pivot point was near the date so the majority of the doubling is seen on "Liberty" and a small amount shows on "In God" with the doubling growing smaller as you get to "We trust". Very nice looking in hand but the only photos I have a through the holder. The photos don't do it justice but I can't take my own photos.
On the 1909 VDB, 2 DDO exist. The FS-1102 is the rarer of the two. It's difficult to see in the photo but an obvious die chip appears in the upper loop of the "R" in "Liberty". The doubling is extra thickness on the date and upright characters in LIBERTY. Again, in hand, it's a great coin.
Thanks. If I'm correct, this is that last DD of it's kind, as the following year I believe the US Mint changed dies so they only strike once thereby eliminating this type of doubling.
I guess I'm just nitpicking. I thought that errors were just a temporary alteration to a particular die, whereas, a variety was a permanent change to a particular die. In any event, I like them. Chris
Nice coins. Great to see real errors here. Like someone mentioned, I wish the pictures were closer, but these will do.
Correct.. TPG's don't recognize them as an error but as a variety. The PCGS certification number for errors start with the letter E for ERROR. I'm sure your Cert Numbers don't start with the letter E since they are blocked. Nice coins by the way
