I save all RPMs and doubled dies, even if they are minor. So I know the feeling. But I try to find a match for them, but I have tubes of unknown...
The 1989's design for the reverse is different. (RDV-006) The devices are a lot larger than the previous design. (RDV-005)
That is the designers last name. [IMG]
The glare from the devices are covering what you want us to see. When taking images of doubled dies, you sometimes have to place the coin in 180...
The vest also has machine damage on it. The left side of the devices on LIBERTY is showing die deterioration also.
The area looks flat. If it were a RPM is would be raised.
The best way to tell is a side by side. That will help you see if it is normal or hub doubled. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] You just have to crop them at...
Master die doubling: [IMG]
It is an overlay to show what position the dies might be in during a clash. (some rotations happen during a clash.)
Looks like a clash to me. [IMG] [IMG]
I refer to the Zincolns in the 82-forward cents because they are mostly zinc. On the 1943's I call them steelies as they are mostly steel.
The devices on the outside are incuse devices. (Lower than the fields) When these suffer machine doubling, they do the opposite of raised devices....
They are steel planchets, with a zinc coating to keep them from rusting. Just like galvanized nails. Steel with a zinc coating to prevent rusting.
But a side by side of that die (WDDR-003) still shows the same thing I'm seeing. There is a disturbance on these devices that are machine doubled...
It was probably done by either a vending machine (old gumball 1 cent machines) or coin wrapper damaged. But I'm leaning to the vending machine...
No it is still being found, but not near as often. [IMG] [IMG]
The problem is that the DDR is on the lower area of the fireworks spray: [IMG] And the three windows above the arc: [IMG] The area the OP shows...
This image might help you. [IMG] Note on the left the machine doubled example and the one next to it the normal one? They are the same size. The...
The 50's wheat cent dies were over used. Leaving a lot of coins that catch our attention. The area is called a BIE and was collected for a time in...
PSD. The coin did not leave the press looking like that.
