Hi Guys, This morning I found in a change coins this beauty. I think this is really a Doubled Die case. (IMHO) What do you all think about it?? Any comments are appreciated.
Nice coin but I can find no examples of a DDR. The 2001 is listed as strike doubled in the incuse date. Yours appears very flat and shelflike in appearance so I must go with machine doubling, no added value. Keep looking, the fun is in the searching
Hmm, interesting. This seems a doubled die, to me. The indicators I use are the split serifs on the letters such as the point on the bottoms of the A and V: and the corner on the bottom of the S:
Those close ups certainly support it. I know new varieties can be found, but with 9 years of circulation and over 600 million struck it would be a good find.
Yeah, I don't have my readers on so I had to switch to my cell phones zoom option on his photos. Just screen captured what I was looking at. The weird part is that a lot of it does look shelf-like. I wonder if it's a mixed MD along with some die 'touch-ups'.
Well, I'm posting photos of another coins I have purchased since 2018 and them could be a source for comparison, just for the case of any doubt. 1997 1 Centavo 1997 10 Centavos 1998 10 Centavos 2000 10 Centavos 2001 10 Centavos 2005 10 Centavos 2008 10 Centavos 1995 50 Centavos
