I think you should know the answer by now... If you learned anything of what a true Doubled Die is

Don't virtually all "real doubled die" coins show "notched corners" of a doubled element? And I mean CORNERS, not EDGES.

 

You forgot special E D

 

Not according to Wexler & Potter starting with the Shield Cents. Strange time for Lincoln Cents. Same goes for the State & ATB quarters.

 

This isn't noched.

 

What makes Shield cents not follow that "rule"? I call it a "rule" because I attended a talk at Ft. Lauderdale FUN this past January where such a "rule" was insisted upon by one of the country's foremost doubled die experts, whose name now escapes me. By the way, he would call the southwest corner of the "1" on the cent above my post precisely such a notch. But that cent also appears to be a RPM.

By the way, true doubled DIE coins also require the two images to be similar in height off the fields, and not one much lower - the near certain mark of a strike double.

 

Tyler, look carefully at the 1, and 4 in the area Kurt mentions, I see a notch. Small, yes, but still an abnormal indentation or notch. I also suspect with proper lighting, and resolution, one could say they 'think' they can see it with the 9 also in the same area, but that isn't a necessary PUP for the DD. The type of serif or font itself can also cause variations in the amount of notching visible. IMO. Jim

 

Okay I see what you are saying. You are right. I actually didn't even see that notch. I thought nothces had to be split.

 

To be perfectly honest Kurt, I do not know why the notch rule is not applied. Now, it seems, notching is the slashed effect you see on the Shield cents with no indication of true notching as we have come to know, plus the warped effect seen on the 4 on the 2014. There is no notching anywhere on the 2015 P Homestead quarters, just doubling at the windows, pump handle, etc. I guess the times have changed and it depends upon whom is doing the attributions.

 

I see your point Tommy, but I believe the Homestead is a separate special matter. That coin was digitally hubbed and it is entirely possible that a wiseacre or three at the Mint might have created all those window varieties quite intentionally, just to goof around and see if people noticed.

They could EVEN have been created by putting working dies BACK INTO the CRC machine that normally makes hubs and run only a few steps of the program onto that working die, thereby creating a tiny area that creates those Homestead Philly varieties.

 

What about this. Is this considered notched?

 

Good points all. I would love to be a fly on the wall to see if this is actually happening.

 

First one? Maybe not. Maybe so.
Second one? "Holy crap, Batman!"

 

1991 D reverse lol
I get excited when i see that year. Literally can't wait to flip it

 

Don't know the date on the first but I have seen some nice examples of the 1994 cent with doubling of the columns in the last few bays. At first glance these always look like a plating issue but are not. On the second, just as Kurt said!

 

Time to find some OWR's or a sealed ballistic bag!

 

They both are 1991 D. Should check it out. There are multiple ddr listings for this and many stages

 

I could probably count ON the fingers of my two hands the total number of 1991-D cents I've ever had IN my two hands. That is one date I don't have in a solid BU roll, and there aren't that many I don't. The more I think about it, since I don't see any doubled text, is it in reality a doubled DIE, or a doubled HUB?
