1960 D small date help!

So I Know there is a doubled working hub here but this one I'm having trouble matching up to any of them. WEXLER makes comment of two types of reverse but no mention of the differences. Coin has alot going on. The date is interesting with what looks like something on top of date, (not over date). Obverse and reverse show remnants of a die clash. Most visible on reverse below right side of memorial. I believe the reverse shows doubling on memorial and ONE CENT. Anyone have experience with this date? And sorry about some of the pics I'm having troubles with camera!

Do NOT let this coin out of your hands! This may be a 1960-D Large Date over Small Date variety. It sure looks like one at first glance.

 

@V. Kurt Bellman that would be nice but I thought that it would have the RPM north in order to be the over date?

 

The odd appendages on the inside loops of the 9 and the 6 argue strongly for an overdate. If only one had them, I'd be thinking damage. Both having them is compelling. I think the hit on the 0 is hiding an artifact that was there.

Keep in mind, the double date style is on the HUB (unless the die was squeezed by two different hubs - a ridiculous breach of procedure), and the mintmark is punched directly onto the DIE.

 

Hmm. Very interesting Kurt I'll keep my fingers crossed! In the meantime I'm going to go back through my other small dates, I do believe I have a red small date that had the same marks on the date but I had just dismissed it as damage. Thanks for your time as well.

 

This coin is not the over date .
Not even close ...

 

Here's what the over date looks like .

 

It most certainly is AN overdate. Using the term THE overdate is being intentionally misleading. There CLEARLY is both shapes of both the 6 and the 9 on the OP's coin. You people (Rick particularly) talk like there can be only ONE 1960-D overdate. Well clearly that's NOT true. Guess what, that's horse hockey! The second one is staring you in the face. I agree the OP's is NOT the one Rick pictures.

Give me YOUR explanation for THIS, Rick:



Then there's the OP's first "96" closeup. If it's not AN overdate, I'll be darned.

I've got a news flash for everybody - there ARE people other than John Wexler who can SEE, you know. Sometimes I wonder if he CAN see.

 

Some of the small date dies show the hook in the 9 & 6 .
Why ? Don't know ... I sure there's a article on google, for that answer ..

 

Yeah, like I'd EVER use Google for ANYTHING. [Hint: I don't and won't.] But the one you show in post #9 IS an overdate. I don't need John Wexler's say so. I can see just fine. Even more, it appears to be the same one the OP is showing, but not the same polish state, as the die polish lines are different.

The closeup photo you showed, Rick, is BOTH an overdate AND a pretty severe machine doubling job.

 

That coin from post #9 came from pcgs site, under small date .
If the OP sends this coin into any grading company, it's just coming back as a small date .

O-ya, minted in Denver ............

 

I don't doubt that. It appears to be BOTH an overDATE AND an overSIGHT. PCGS is not infallible, contrary to widespread fanboy-ism.

Speaking of Johnny Boy, you realize PCGS does not recognize a BUNCH of his stuff, right? Just like no TPGS recognizes the 1951 Proof Washington Quarter "brain tumor" variety that Tomaska waxes poetic over. The TPGS firms are A source, not THE source.

 

I just pulled a small date out with the same thing as the OP coin .
I'll take a close up of it . I've seen over the years, 100s like the OP coin .

 

Isn't it small date over large?
If the large was over the small you wouldn't see the small.

 

Like I said, 100s ...

 

I guess this could be like a poorman's 55 ...

 

Here is an interesting article :

And I do not think it is an overdate DDO either. Jim

 

Ya I looked at that one and all the others trying to match up die markers but to no avail! Thought you might be able to help with this @Rick Stachowski Thanks

 

Very very interesting! Thanks for sharing that Jim .

 

Large over small. They are referred to as they appear on the working die which is backwards.
