1944 double die

I found this and was told there is not one recorded. It weighs 2.7 grams but non magnetic. It is also a double die as there is a 4 under the 1 on 1944.

Its (doubled die) and the pictures are to blurry/the coin is to corroded to tell anyway I have my doubts also.

 

I'll see if I can get some better pics.. I've weighed it on numerous scales and all the same and I'm not comfortable with just mailing it off. Lol

 

Even if it is a doubled die, IMO it is not worth anything more than face value in that coindition...

 

Here are a couple.

 

Condition is due to being stamped more than twice and the degree of the extra stamps.

 

Condition is actually due to spending a lot of time in the ground, tons of corrosion on that poor coin...

 

Your coin is corroded. Could you be mistaking artifacts from the corrosion as doubling?

A 4 under the 1 is not doubling. Here is a link that explains how doubled dies occur and how to identify them. I strongly recommend you take some time and study the minting and die making process if you're going to look for errors. It will keep you from wasting your time chasing PMD coins

The more the stamps and degree of each makes it more valuable as those are taken in consideration when putting a value on such an item.

 

There is more but to be continued after I get the Penny verified.. Going on a road trip gonna prove a lot of people wrong. I'm 46 and been waiting my whole life for this opportunity!!!

 

You aren't listening to us...you are going to waste time and money and end up sadly disappointed....jmho...Spark

 

I'm sorry to hear that.

 

Coin are "struck" not stamped . Good Luck on your journey .

 

Between his previous thread and this, he sounds like a banned member with a new ID just out doing a little trolling.

Best of luck moving forward

 

Cool. Have you considered getting it certified and graded by one of the major TPGs? Even if you're just planning on keeping it along with all your other coins in your coin collection the person you ultimately leave it to might be not be as intelligent as you and think it's just some dumb piece-of-junk cent and spend it. Just some advice, it's what we all do with valuable coins like this.

 

Too bad it's not magnetic. If it were magnetic it would make a interesting-looking refrigerator magnet.

 

You say struck we say stamped my bad..

 

I wouldn't want that dirty thing near my food.

 

OP.... You need to understand one thing here. Looking for coin legitimacy on Google is akin to believing magicians tricks on TV... There isn't a whole lot a genuine information out there and there is a reason for that... Folks have an agenda afoot.... On the other hand, the folks here have many decades of numismatic experience behind them and would love nothing more than to see a truly interesting piece show up on the forum.... A badly corroded cent is just that... A badly corroded cent. And even if there were some doubling of the devices, the corrosion nullifies any relevant meaning to the coin.... I am sorry, but it is what it is.

 

Trust me. Pleaseeee listen to them! They know what they are talking about.
