Die Variety News (DVN) Issue #24 May 2011 Online & Available For Free Viewing

Hello,

I'm pleased to announce that Die Variety News (DVN) magazine May 2011 issue #24 is now online and available for viewing at your leisure.

In this issue we highlight a recently listed doubled die obverse (DDO) variety for our files on a 1983 Lincoln cent to be on the hunt during your searching endeavors.

More "extra column" type varieties are coming in this time with a couple of new very nice listings to illustrate for collectors.

Our "Recently Submitted Listings" section continues to expand illustrating the many varieties that have crossed the editor's desk since publication of issue #23.

We have updated photos on a previous listing 1991 1¢ CDDR-001 and we take a close look at a 1936-D Lincoln Wheat cent controversial RPM variety for you to be the judge.

I hope you enjoy this issue of DVN magazine and find it informative and helpful in your collecting and searching endeavors.

Regards,
Billy (dvn)

Billy,

Is there a criteria you have for the doubled columns varieties? I find so many of these that are minor. I keep them all, but it seems that there are a lot out there. I'm talking about the class VIIIs that usually show as a partial column on either the 6th or 7th columns.

Also, is this doubling unique to the single squeeze hubs, or do you know of older examples like this?

 

You're correct, a lot of them. I don't have a cut-off criteria on listing them. Some attributers do and that's fine for them and for their particular filing system. I list them so as to be able to provide the information on them to variety enthusiast. With that information then it is up to the individual collector whether he/she decides to collect or not to collect.

Though the majority seem to be associated with the "single-squeeze" hubbing process other examples can be found on what is known as multiple-hubbed dated coins. One of them is illustrated in the current DVN #24 listed on a 1989 Lincoln cent exhibiting a partial extra column #7 from a rotation. I do have a couple of others one dated on a 1986 and the other on a 1987 cent. So, they are not just restricted to the single squeeze era.

I hope this answers your questions.

Great information. Thanks for the answer.
