1944 - S Penny (Double Die)????

I was recently looking through my collection of US pennies, and I noticed that I have a 1944 - S double die penny. I cannot find any trace of this penny's existence. I looked in "The Official RED BOOK" and did not see any evidence of a 1944 double die penny.

I was wondering if anyone has come across this same penny, and/or direct me in the right path to finding out how much this penny is worth?

Thanks,
Forknif

First off welcome to the Forum. Can you post a picture. There are different doubled dies for that year.

I will work on a picture over the next couple of days. I have to find a quality digital camera. The numbers are almost died half way over, and some letters of Liberty are slightly double died.

 

Try this link. www.coppercoins.com - Click Die variety search - Put the date and click San Fran. Maybe that would help ID it.

Could it be machine doubled?

 

Hobo,

It could be MD. Without a picture one can't tell.

Like Rubard posted, www.coppercoins.com is a very good reference. Except, is the doubling on the Obverse or Reverse? Best of luck with pics. :thumb:

Here is a picture, I could not find a really good scanner, but hopefully you can see the double die.

 

I is really hard to tell from the picture but from what I can see, it appears to be Machine Doubling! If you can provide a more close-up and in-focus picture, we might be able to make a better assessment of the doubling.

here you go, this should be a much better picture

you can also see that some of the Liberty is double died aswell

 

nice find! :kewl:thats some pretty good doubling actually.

 

forknif,

I am sorry to tell you but it is definitely Machine Doubling!


Frank

 

so that means its worth is close to nothing? or worth mabye 2 pennies?

 

i have a 1944 with rty double can anyone help me

 

Post a picture, otherwise we can't really help.

 

Wow!

It has been 5 years since the original Frank posted!

 

hey, all.

How can I send Frank an e-mail?

 

I have a double date 1944 S just like the one pictured. Has anyone found more information about this coin? Sept. 2018.

 

The coin shown in this thread has machine doubling and has no premium value. If your coin looks just like this one, it also has machine doubling.

However, if you post a picture of your coin then someone may be able to tell you with more certainty what your coin exhibits.

 

Attached is a picture of the coin.
