Can anyone tell me what this is on this penny? Is this some kind of doubling or no? http://www.cointalk.com/forum/members/dcure2002/albums/356/5767
I'm not too technical on the terms, but I don't believe its the doubling you are thinking of (the valuable kind). Welcome to Cointalk! Seems Michigan members are going to outnumber Arizona soon.YAY.
Hi, Welcome to CT if I haven't done so already. The doubling on the letters appear to be machine doubling, with a little die deterioration at the top of some letters. See this source for further information. Jim http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/OtherFormsOfDoubling.htm
Mechanical, Mechanical, doubled dies do not look like this at all - and I think I have warned this seller many times, a couple of times on this very coin.
well you won't have to warn him again on this very coin, unless he has more. My dumb a** bought it. Good news is it only cost me 99 cents so I guess i only lost 98. If he actually ships it, I will get a chance to look at it closer so it may help me tell the difference in the future also. Oh well..live and learn I guess.
