Hi The canadian looks to be a genuine clipped planchet, the 9 on the lincoln has a minor die chip and i don't see what you are talking about with...
they don't look like die clashes , possibly minor struck through grease?
That is because "penny" is just slang for "cent" where "double die" and "doubled die" mean two totally different things. Double die would...

just found out you can vote more than once, voted again!
Looks like a very weak strike. some people call them a die adjustment strike though I have been told that the term might not be accurate. If it...
Actually Coppercoins.com wouldn't list "double strikes". A coin that has actually been struck twice would be an error, coppercoins lists...
