This one might be a combination of machine doubling and a doubled die. I THINK I am seeing splits on the flame as well as parts of "OF AMERICA",...
When posting about doubling, it is always best to post a closeup of the affected area...it would make it a lot easier to determine the cause of...
Don't expect to learn the differences overnight...besides, it's better to take your time learning and absorbing as much info as you can, rather...
Kind of tough for me to tell, but I know that 1971-S cents were often plagued with machine doubling. As to the difference between machine doubling...
Yep, up until 1990, the mintmarks were hand-punched into the working dies, so there will often be differences in mintmark location on cents dated...
Pictures are still too far away to tell. Is this the same coin or a different coin? First you say "large AM", and now you are asking about a...
The initials are actually FG, not FS. But, funny enough, they do have an FS (cherrypicker variety) number, and are the popular "no FG" variety....
Are you sure it is a 1999? Because it has a wide-AM reverse, indicating that it is either: 1) A cent struck 1990-1992 2) Either a 1998 or 1999P...
Certainly not any variety I have ever heard of. Pictures are too far away to tell what it is for certain.
I agree. Heavy die deterioration doubling. Keep up the hunt! And for future reference, US 1 cent coins are technically called cents, not "pennies".
Definitely a DDO. Looks like the big one the cherrypicker's guide has listed. FS-25-1934-101. Great find, and very hard to come by. URS-10, so...
This may be a struck through grease, but this is actually a common place for a weaker strike (can't recall the exact reason). Keep up the hunt!
It is a minor cud. I would pay you $3 for it, but who knows what you can get on ebay if the right people find the auction. ;) Keep up the hunt!
I'm not experienced with overlays, but photoshop usually gets the job done. In my experience, I would put a picture on photoshop, then add the...
If it was incuse I would think struck through. Not sure what it is if it is raised.
Is it incuse?
Take a look at this doubled die. The "notches" are kind of like little indents that are evidence of a doubled die....
Looks like more incuse die wear, but the important thing is to realize it is not a doubled die. You should be looking for "notching" in letters as...
First you post pictures of the obverse, then of the reverse. Which one is it? I am seeing incuse die wear issues, no doubled die.
That one is a rather nice struck-through grease, I could see $10-15 on a good day if you put it up on ebay. Keep up the hunt!
