I doubled die doubled die

Thank you for the lesson it all looks so much the same.

In that case, I hope you have all girls! It would serve you right for wanting to give a male child that ridiculous name, forcing him to grow up being made fun of by all of his peers. Yep! I hope you have to spend a ton of money for all of your daughters' weddings.

In that case, I hope you only have female sextuplets.

Don’t you see though, a child named Hubdubbella would constantly need to explain her name thereby expanding numismatic knowledge to the general public. This would harm the user frequency of the what’s it worth forum though. Hmm, double edged sword.

 

You kill me me bro. LzoL. You can't blame me for being confident. I'll just have to take the jokes. Are you still awake? If so I've got something for you. I've got a 1992D small date penny and the word PLURIBUS is spelled PLURIBGS, or PLURIBOS. You want some pics??

 

No! It's damage. The penny took a hit on the "U". We don't need to see it. Honestly! Copper is easily moved. Please! Please! Please! Move on!

Chris

 

So what your saying is for me to move on, that when I see something that is wrong to me, that just toss it aside and just move on?? Don't question it , just take it for damage and move on?? Well I don't think that's any way to learn anything but I understand. I was wrong a couple of times and now I'm not credible. Okay, I'll have to accept that and move on.

 

We did name our first child Patina but she answers to Pat or Tina all the same.......

 

I'll make you a deal! If you can post a good, clear photo of the word "PLURIBUS" on your 1992D Lincoln cent and if you can prove to me that it is not damage on the 2nd "U", then I will send you a 2005P CA SQ, NGC MS67.

Chris

 

Ooo....can’t wait to see this!

 

. Well I'm not sure that it is'nt just damage. That's why I came to you in private. Because I value your advice and your wisdom with error coins.what I do know is that the U is not shaped like the other U's and it is rounded like a O or s G and you can see where it rounds at the top and I'm not sure what could cause that to round like it is on the top and also the U had a wide gap from one side to the other and this has a narrow gap like both the O and G have. So although I'd like to take you up on That deal I'd rather just hear your in put on it.

 

Aww gee I didn't know you were my biggest fan. I'll send you my autograph.

 

Oh and it's a 1982D small date, sorry bout the mix up.

 

By the way I am a man of my word Chris, so here for all to see I formally take a bow and humbly apologize to you Chris, for doubting you and say with all respect that your knowledge far exceeds mine on this matter. Please accept my apology and know that I am here to learn from you and others on here. Duane

 

All I ask is to be objective, and I will accept your call.

 

It's PMD. Just look at the U and look at the rest of the damage on the coin.

 

OK , I'm curious as to how the top could have been arched and if you straightened the arch out, how much longer would the U be than the other letters. Like I said I'm just learning so of course I'm curious as to what kind of PMD could have caused it?? You have to admit , it does look like a G.

 

1968D is die deterioration doubling. Example:

 

Damaged, it's quite common to find coin devices damaged in strange ways. Example:


The odd thing about this damage, it's known to happen on this year. Another forum user once posted one very similar to mine.

A few years ago I went to a dealer table at a show and he had THREE of these in his case listed as "errors". I attempted to explain to the guy that they were not errors and not worth his $10 asking price each. He didn't want to hear it - similar to many posters on this forum I've seen over the years. The sad part, he probably found ignorant buyers eventually.

There's a reason errors are valuable - they are rare and hard to find. I've been searching coins for decades and have only found a few.
