I don't think so. It should look more like this: http://www.lincolncentresource.com/images/1960_D_ddo_1_close_up.JPG
Rockdude, that url is for a small date over a large date. Jess, I have seen these and every time it comes out that it isn't, as the small date "6" should be visible under the large date 6. The URL that Rockdude listed shows how the 2 "6"s will have a different loop and angle of the top part. The 1960P does have examples of large over small dates, haven't seen one for the 1960-D, but I haven't checked CONECA. Jim
It just appears to me that the 0 has some doubling,(maybe post) butt the 9 has some doubling in the lower part.
Also, is it possible to get a list for all 1950-1968 errors for pennies? I have the normal list, but it seems like sometimes when I post something, someone gives me some unknown list I have not seen before. Where do you guys get you info?
I use from time to time the website I listed in my previous post, but use this one most the time; http://www.coppercoins.com/advsearch.php
Rockdude's url is the best. Charles Daughtrey, owner of the coppercoin site also has written a nice book " Looking through Lincoln Cents". also http://www.lincolncentresource.com/ Jim
Just read about this item that isn't released yet but might be interesting. http://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Greatest-Mint-Errors-Byers/dp/1933990023/
Jess, In another posting someplace, it was 'explained" that if it was a DD, the numeral would be about 50% thicker, which it isn't. It is normal for the die state. It was explained then as a die crack in an overused die. Jim
I would Say it is a re Stricken date. I just finish going thru 3 rolls of 1960 Ds I t would be nice to see both ends of the 9 http://www.footmousetouchpad.com/1660ErrorRoll2.html
The zero on the coin in question suffers from minor eject doubling, which is a form of machine doubling that occurs when the die is lifting off the coin and the coin is shoved aside by the feeder finger before the die has a chance to completely disengage from the coin. Basically no premium value and important to learn what they look like while going through early memorials because they are common. Second thing is that there is no known example of a 1960D large over small date cent. The only known examples are of a 1960D small over large date cent. Another thing - Mike Byers might have a nice book thre, but it is going to do very little to educate a new collector on what they are looking at in pocket change. The book Mr. Byers is releasing is a who's who of the greatest errors of all time...it has nothing to do really with the stuff people around here are finding in pocket change. A good read it might be, but a waste of money as a reference guide for the typical pocket change hunter. And finally...I have no clue what a re Stricken date is. Are these terms that someone is teaching around here, or are you just coming up with it on your own? If it's the former I would like to talk to the person teaching this odd use of non-numismatic terms. If you're just coming up with them yourself, I would suggest working on learning the proper terminology, because it will make your life much easier trying to help others. Knowing what you're doing is really the first step in helping others.
