Interpreting photographs of Doubled Dies and other forms of doubling is difficult. In hand, that 1960D sm/lg looks nothing like DDD. When a coin...
Plating Split-Doubling (AKA Split-Line Doubling) Here is the obverse and reverse of a 1992D with Plating Split-Doubling on the mintmark and parts...
Plating Split Doubling 1992D; black lines show exposed zinc (white lines show MD on the bottom of the D and the 2): [IMG]
Yes, even the so called extra beards only sell for a few bucks as they are not that extreme.
I believe that '83 is now thought to be a Counter Clash...I'll check...I think it is in the CPG...
I am confident this is not single squeeze hub doubling. I don't see any notches and the areas that appear doubled don't add to the thickness of...
Plating Split Doubling is different than what we see here, it is when the plating is pulled back and splits giving the appearance of doubling from...
Bill, I like your way of thinking I feel it is good advice for new variety/error collectors: understand the mechanics of the minting process and...
Here's a photo collage of three coins, maybe it will help with future diagnoses in the beard/ear area... There's a 2000 MAD clash (extra beard);...

I mean no disrespect when I ask this, but where can I read about this phenomena discussed "Plating shift doubling?" Mike Diamond claimed in...
I think on a good day you might get lucky and be able to buy a AU '92D CAM for $900, but more likely $1.5k-2.5k. That's a lot better than $15k....
Probably MD if the doubling you are seeing is in the same place as the date.
Someone is about to waste $28+ on a garbage MD penny...
I see them now. Nice examples, especially that nickel! Should I leave my pics up or take them down?
Can't tell from the picture...if it is BU, and there is no wear, a polished die or die wear, are both reasonable conclusions. That said, over...
Until some pictures are up, here are two standard MADs: a 1971 and a 1991 (the '71 is incidental DDO-001). You can see the appearance of a doubled...
Another MAD
Just a small note: your coins are not technically off-center errors. They are MAD which means the one of the dies was misaligned where as an...
Looks like another obverse MAD
