1957 D never seen!******

So this is in my collection but with the new recent findings I don't see it anywhere. Redish colorings, obvious doubling of the date stamp, and filled in B in Liberty and 5.......any advice? Anyone seen one like this?

I think it's similar to this one I have:



This is a combination of die chips inside the letters plus MDD (machine damage doubling, AKA strike doubling).

interesting

 

Yes we have. It's nothing but Die Chips on the date. It's a common occurrence on Wheat Cents from the 1950's. Especially 1957 and 1959. I found about 10 of them when I started collecting Mint Errors over 30 years ago and have seen dozens of examples ever since.
Not a Major Mint Error.

 

@Newbee1953
Here is one that was attributed by NGC and for sale on Ebay
(Not my coin)

 

Machine doubling... and die chips...

 

So, if their were VAM cents this would be one?

 

OK thanks! This site has all kinds of helpful people.

 

it's still a pretty cool find though, i'd definitely keep it.

 

I have a 1957 coin with the same error.
