I think I got it this time. This is a 1959 D penny, and from you guys said to look for when it comes to true doubled die coins I think this one fits the bill. I tried to find info on the variety but couldn't so any input would be greatly appreciated
Are you sure? There is definitely 2 Ds and the 59, looks similiar.. also looks doubled on the designer initials to me.
Well if you're really willing to learn then why are you coming here and asking a question then asking again until you get the answers you want. Instead why don't you use Google? As it is our friend ,and research it yourself ? Yes we all see things we want to see at times. But.....when given the correct reply and you insist that isn't the answer ,it's time to do some research . Every member here has posted a coin and asked for an opinion ......opinions like advice is easy to give as it cost you nothing.... so if you're tired of getting nothing it's time to hit the books sister.
I don't feel as though I am looking til I get the right answer, each time I have asked questions, they've been on different coins, and each time theye been different, someone said for true doubled there would be a line and an indent of sorts or something like that, so on the pictures of the 1959, I did look for lines and that. Not trying to find one right answer, just one right coin!
Asking "are you sure" isn't some unforgivable offense, Tammy, even if some act as if it was. It's not like you've argued for 20-30 pages that you're right and everyone else, including independent evidence, is wrong (believe it or not, this does happen). Stick around for a while and you may be surprised at how many here just love to dish, but can't handle it when the favor is returned. Your best bet would be to simply ignore the nonsense; if you're genuinely serious about learning, and are willing to do your own homework/legwork, it'll show and most here will be happy to help. A few things.... if the mintmark indeed showed proper "doubling", it wouldn't mean the coin a doubled die. At that time, and through 1989 (for cents), mintmarks were punched into dies by hand, and because of this they're a separate issue altogether. This isn't to say strike doubling cannot impact mintmarks (it can), and if you see a coin from this era with "doubling" on, say, the lettering/date and mintmark, it's a good indication you're looking at strike doubling. Moving on, your coin may (MAY) have some potential as an RPM, but I cannot see it well enough to say for certain. Its a long shot, but if you'd like, feel free to post other photos of the mintmark. Either way, here's a good link that will better explain and show what I'm talking about.... http://www.doubleddie.com/58243.html Be sure to spend some quality time on this site well beyond the one linked page. It's an excellent site that can teach you a great deal. As for the question asked, I have to agree with the others; it's not what you were hoping for, unfortunately. That said, we've another young lady member who was in your shoes not too long ago, yet stuck with it and has had great success as well as a number of fantastic finds. Perhaps she'll stop in to share some advice and/or her experiences with you. @Sheila Ruley Welcome to the forum.
Thank you so very much Shetland what a lovely response to my post. Thank you for that. It made my day
Tamipenny, I may be fairly new to this site but I've been doing a lot of research. I don't know why you weren't given this simple answer of that what you have appears to be simply, machine doubling or from a worn die. Good luck on your research and I hope you find this as enjoyable as I do. Just take your time and double check your findings, ask alot of questions and don't get discouraged.
Omg! I don't know why I never bother to proof read what I write! It should have said thank you Shelia, not shetland. I am sorry.
You can go back to your post and edit.. Just hit the edit tab in that post, fix the word then hit Save Changes
Tammi, this is sheila. If you listen to these guys, you will learn a lot. These guys are very smart and very knowledgeable. I have learned so much from them. They have stuck by my side and even answered some of my most ridiculous questions. If you listen and stick with it, you will learn so much. I very much appreciate these guys they are absolutely awesome. I have now had a couple coins published on cudsoncoins.com and I have also had a 1999 wide a.m. Cent that I sold for $130. I have also had one of my coins published online as well as in a magazine and it will also be published in the cherry pickers Guide to die and variety book in the new edition. The new addition may not be published for a while though. Just listen to these guys and pay attention. I wish you good luck with everything and welcome to the forum.
