1960-D Jefferson DDR-004

Well, this is pretty much the most fun I have ever had with coins! I really feel like a detective, and i feel that I nailed this one!


I found this coin off of a lot on Ebay, and have had it stored in a tube for the last three months. Earlier this week I decided i wanted to find some die errors, and up till now I have only found Machine doubling and CUD coins. Hopefully this will be my first Double Die find, Please help me verify this!


Little info I found on the Internet.

Um, I just found two of this coin from the roll...........:eat:

 

looks like some form of alternative doubling, i don't believe it's a DDR. Don't take my word as gospel though, i'm sure there will be better opinions that will follow

 

Nice find...I think that Stage C marker confirms it. You should post your find on the CONECA forum...maybe James Wiles will confirm it there.

I don't see a doublED die here but it looks like it does have a die break - the doubling looks like machine or strike doubling.

i really thought i had this one..... I guess i just need to read up about the differences about machine doubling and a double die.

 

I found this page and it has helped me a lot! I just wish i had found it earlier. Hopefully its of some help to others

Much thanks to J.T. Stanton

Hi,

Definitely not a doubled die. Don't feel bad though, five cent pieces can have some of the most deceptive forms of machine doubling and doubling due to die wear that you will ever see on coins

Also, for some reason, that year was a bad year for die chips and die breaks.

Have Fun,
Bill
