My son is into coin collecting he`s fond some pretty nice rare coins especially in key dates like 1972`s and 71 double die and alot of mercury dimes but there this one coin thats not any where on the net or coin books it looks exactly like the 1983 p double die reverse but this date is 1984 p with reverse doubling he collects the 84`s for the double ear variety i just can`t find anything on this coin i know the difference between mdd and true double die this rounded out doubling on the reverse this is truly a double die he fond second one at the same bank with exactly the same doubling so if there`s any info on this 1984 p double die reverse i would truly appreciate it:desk:
We need pictures to detemine what you have verbal is not good sometimes and it could be machine doubling Welcome to the forum Jazzcoins Joe
Welcome to CoinTalk, Joseph! :hail: As to the coin, it would help tremendously if you would provide pictures for us to reference, so we can properly answer your question. Ribbit
Hi joseph, welcome to Coin Talk. One of our menbers here (ziggy9) has found a very impresive DDR dated 1982, only one of it's kind so far. So if you could post a picture it sure would help alot. Lou
Lou, There are 2 known. Joseph, We need picture's of the obverse and reverse to know exactly what you have.
Sorry been busy i don`t know exactly how to take a picture of a coin i tried using my wife`s digital camera i can`t seem to get close enough to see anything :headbang: can anyone tell me what i need what kind of a camera i need to take pictures i would really love someone to see these 1984 p double die reverse ever since my son brought these coins to my attention we been trying to find another,buying mass amounts of pennies from the same bank it`s like we have coin fever, still have only two 1984 p dd though we been finding alot of the 1995 p double die cent and wheat cents Can anyone help
Hi Joseph. If you are trying to use a digital "point and shoot" camera, it should have a "macro" mode, which is usually going to be a button or setting on a dial that has a flowerto indicate "macro" mode. Set the camera in macro mode, focus the camera, then hold a hand held magnifying glass between the lens and the coin. when you put the magnifying glass between the lens and the coin, you will be able to bring the camera much closer to the coin. Essentially (sp?), you are using the magnifying glass as a add on "macro lens". it takes a little practice, but works very well. Also, a tripod will make a huge difference, as the more you magnify the image, themore it will blur from the slightest movement. I have taken some great pictures like this, using my Motorola RAZR cellphone, and a 16X loupe. Good luck, and I look forward to seeing the pics. Chris:thumb:
