Ok so I'm brand new to coins my dad has been saving coins for years and years. He gave them to my son he wasn't interested so I started going threw them. After classifying thousands upon thousands of coins. I ended up with a solo cup about three fourths full of 1969 pennies. Halfway threw I found this. It stuck out quickly compared to all the others I looked at. Can it be a ddor or what is it? Thanks for any help..
No. Mechanical doubling is considered worthless doubling. Here is some good information before seeking more such issues and wasting your time and effort https://doubleddie.com/144801.html
Ok thanks I checked it out the info. I didn't realize there was categories of worthless doubling hahaha. Well a mod should delete my thread since it trash worthy.. At least I found knowledge from unerrorness..
Hey Billy-- those links attest to the fact that it's almost impossible for the untrained eye to tell if the doubling is valuable or not. Seems to me it's entirely appropriate for you to come to a forum like this with a coin like that. I for one have learned from your post-- if only that I would not (and probably never will) be able to tell so-called "worthless" doubling when I see it.
It's MD or mechanical doubling. It's one of the many forms of doubling that fall under the term NAV or no added value doubling. Welcome to CT.
No, the post is useful, especially to new comers to the hobby. Your coin is also slightly MAD (misaligned die) as well as DDD, so it is an excellent example to learn from. Welcome to CT BTW.
Oh, yes indeed. DDD or Die Deterioration Doubling, MD or Mechanical Doubling, Split Plate Doubling are but a few. This thread does have value, especially to new members or new collectors. You've learned from it haven't you?
