Don't feel bad. I still have quite a time distinguishing DD's from MD, especially with the Kennedy half. I have many of them put aside simply because I can't confidently identify most of them either way. Some seem to have the skill to instantly tell the difference. I still cannot so, I'm with you.
Everybody i would reccomend you post your error and coin related questions over on the pcgs.com forum. The people for the most part have been helpful to me
Interesting discussions there but I don't really see many new people asking about coins as much as here on CT. I've only been reading U.S. Coin Forum though.
Hello! Would this be considered a double die? I have a 1968 D with what appears to be double die on the obverse and reverse edges. I have another 1968 D next to it for comparison. TIA!
Here's a link that should be enlightening... http://doubleddie.com/58222.html Be sure to check out the "worthless doubling" and "how dies are made" pages listed on the upper left hand side. The site as a whole is certainly worth exploring though.
NOT AN EXPERT....with that said, this looks more like mechanical doubling. Hope I'm wrong but that is just what it looks like to me, sorry.
Hi, just fyi- these 3 links aren't working How Doubled Dies are Created and Their Classes. Determining Die Doubling from Other Forms of Doubling. (Requires Acrobat Reader) Take the Doubling I.Q. Test.
I am learning about this hobby especially about real D/D it looks like you can put down your magnifier because you can tell a true D/D without one.
This has been mentioned before and again, that would be nice if my 65 year old, farsighted, glaucoma eyes would let me do so. Not to mention, some other members have requested a closer look at certain items. So to each their own and thanks for your input either way.
