A few more cool coins to look at. 1937 with machine doubled date and full head. MS67 RD Double Die Cool double strike dime.
I'm a doof... I didn't mean to imply it was an error, sorry I didn't make that clear. I just like the way it looks when the doubling is on the entire face of the coin and the date. I didn't buy it as an error, but you have to admit it's a GREAT example of machine doubling. Also, as I am am new to error collecting so I have to ask this, and I DON'T mean this as anything but a question. How is it "post" strike damage? I thought it was damage that occurs during the strike because of loose dies, eguipment problems or something like that. I thought post strike damage would be after the coin was ejected from the equipment. I MUST KNOW! TELL ME! Ben
It happens after the coin is stuck by the dies. the loose obverse die "rattles" a bit damaging the coin before the fingers eject it.
Got ya! Thanks for the info. I'm just getting back into a place where I can collect coins again. I had to sell the material things that I loved most about 17 years ago because of a divorce. I had 100s of coins but no errors. Most of what I had was common date AU and low MS coins. I also had to sell my dream car. I had a 1968 Shelby GT350. I'll be collecting Error coins this time, not that they tend to gain in value, but it's such a kick to find them and show them to my friends. I was a professional motorsports photographer, but I'm disabled now. So I'll collect what I can and share it with you guys through my photography. I only sleep about 8 to 10 hours a week, so I have LOTS of time to spend online! Thanks again for the information! Ben J.
by the way, on that 1995 DDO, it may be a MAD, see if the reverse is correct, or off center the same way. Nice.
