This circulated 1968 cent looks to have doubling on the date and possibly America on the back. your worth opinion
OK. You definitely need to have your pictures in focus in order for us to see anything. Please study how coins are minted. please get books on error coins and read them. You cannot rely on us to diagnose every coin in your collection. Especially with those poor pictures.
Can't see a thing with those pics. However, odds are strong that this is "machine doubling," especially if you say it is on both sides. Do a search on this site, or on google, and you'll get plenty of info on machine doubling.
Post Mint Error? There is no such thing. Once it leaves the Mint anything that happens to any coin is Post Mint Damage
Come on How do you determine what damage was done at the mint and after the mint Padyman98, I'm working on the focus those were taken with a Microsoft Webcam 5000 I'm switching to the camera on my note 3 through the lens of a 5x magnifying glass. I will improve the photos will you still diagnose them for possible certification. The manual you referenced will be a great addition to my library. Thank You CoinOp2
You are correct. I was mostly correcting your title. After many years of seeing and collecting Mint Errors and seeing PMD you will understand the difference in both. Understanding the Milling process of coins helps also in order to distinguish the difference.
Read up on the subject and look at coins and it will help you determine the difference. A die crack is raised. A grove or gouge into the coin is PMD. Not ever coin that has signs of doubling is a double die. Millions are made every year with a little doubling and that is from the machine, not the die, so it's called MD (machine doubling). Live, read and learn.
Wow Gee-Wilikers Gallo36 , that is a realy close, clear photo. What type of camera did you use to capture such a splendid immage.
