    Hello all,

    I was inspecting the coin yes I do see hairlines but also I have not seen one of these shine like this bright reddish color in certain lighting and it definitely reminds me of the proof shield nickel I had but this can’t be proof right? During my inspection I found that the coin to be DDR which the coin was not sold as this so lucky me I guess! What do you guy/girls think on this on? I’m taking this to a local coin appraiser with some other coins tomorrow but thought I’d see what you guys had to say because I’m impatient. And local coin appraiser as a well known company in my state not some guy at the pawn shop lol.

    Thank you, you all rock!

    And this would be strike doubling or double die?

    Intresting I haven’t heard of these types, does this have any added value for collectors or is it somewhat common enough it doesn’t?

    What is the difference between machine doubling and double die? Aren’t they both errors to an extent? I do notice machine doubled coins rarely go for much more then regular price but DDs can change the price by the hundreds. Is machine doubling just more common? I have a 1863 indian head penny that I believe to be the DDR or could it be a different error?

    With a true doubled die coin, the die itself has the doubling. With machine doubling the die was normal and the press caused the doubling. MD is very common.

    Hey lord , is it because the surface (field) is somewhat grainy ?

    Well, yes, but it's also the color, and the dullness of the surfaces.

    Here's a proof I had, though these low-quality pictures are not very useful by way of comparison.

    Proof coins have mirrors. Often (though not always) they will have some kind of "cameo" contrast as well (frost on the higher design elements).

    They look very different from the artificial shininess of a polished coin. It is difficult to describe how, but it's just something one learns to recognize over time.
