Machine doubling. Not doubled die. Not sure what is happening on the reverse though

 

Thank you. I just read up on the difference. And now have a bunch of pennies to look through. I'm learning. This is a wonderful site. Under my microscope it looks like a staple between the C and E which caused a crack into A and not sure what the dash is from between A and C. No idea how this could happen. It looks like a metal object embedded with the naked eye.

 

IMO, not DDO. Issue on rev appears to be a PM hit to the letters.

 

Not so fast! Did you notice how it forms between A and C? I believe the oc was onto something there. It looks like and lam error to me. Notice how the crack seems to follow under the layer? If we could get a side photo of that, I can confirm whether or not that is a lam error or not.

 

And if it is?

 

I'm not sure what you mean of a side photo, but I took this one from the side when on my microscope. And if it is, is that a good thing for me? I've joined PGCS and was thinking if I should send it in to be examined?

 

I have never seen any stapler that could use a staple that small. A side view would help, but it does look like damage straight on view. IMO, Jim

 

He meant like an almost flat with mid/high quality picture. Sry if i was hard on you

 

not sure I can do that quality of a picture, but will try. I'm very new at looking at coins.

 

Almost flat? I'm confused but here is a picture of the coin flat on the reverse.

 

I'm sorry, we meant a photo at the angle of the edge so we can see if the line follows UNDER the design.

 

Let's start with: "is this a S mintmark 1922 peace dollar?" in the last photo of the reverse, I definitely see some sort of a mint mark.

the doubling in 1922, ejection doubling and very common n the 1922 somewhere on the obverse. it moved around a lotand affected different things.
the thing running through "peace" looks like a scrape to the coin to me. could be a scrape to the coin running under PE, dinging up A, then a small delamination on the C and into the E, hard to tell from these pictures. the only good one is the picture of the obverse, the monitor screen pictures or that last one aren't clear enough pictures.

that said, this still could be an identifiable VAM if you want toput in the effort. and take the time on it. blow is the vam world wiki, you will need to look at specific things and it's not ideal to do it off a general picture that's blurryor of a monitor of the coin.

Thanks John, I have some other interesting coins and belong to PCGS. There is a special to rate coins for free, I might send it in with the others to see if its anything special. BTW, your name seems familiar like I've talked to you in my last life about LTC. I remember there was a person who knew a lot about coins with your same name.

 

It's very common first and last names.
There's probably a million people with my first name on the planet . And probably at least 10,000 people with the same last name. Chances are high there's at lest a dozen or more with same first and last.

 

This is an example of a lamination error. This is what they were talking about what kind of photo they needed. To see if there was what looks like a "flap" as seen below Lincoln's neck. Sometimes lamination errors look like cracks or maybe something like this,

 

No DDO and the reverse is not a staple. It does however look like it could be the start of a lamination error.

 

Thank you. These pics and explanations of what it depicts are a great help to a newbie like me.

 

Here is one of my examples...
