My mother in law was a coin “collector”. She worked a cashier and bookkeeper for a large department store and routinely bought any strange or unusual coins that crossed her desk. I recently found 2 cigar boxes of her collection. One holds a number of old and unusual foreign coins and there are some beauts in there. But the second box contains rolls of what appear to be barely circulated or non circulated pennies from the 60’s. In groups by their years. I say that because they mostly aren’t labeled but I’ve opened 3 rolls that were all 1960Ds and a roll of 1964s. And many of them appear to be doubled. Now I have vision issues and use an app on my iPad to magnify and photo. I realize that’s substandard but I have one other tool at my disposal. Terry. Terry is the go-to guy at a coin shop about an hour away. Terry has several of his discoveries in CHERRYPICKERS and he taught his daughter who works grading coins ( don’t remember who for). Unfortunately he is a teacher and only works a couple of hours a week at the coin shop. He sets the prices for sellers and his time is in big demand. He also for some strange reason ( free donuts) likes me and is willing to spend time looking at my “Finds”. Like you guys he will quickly shoot down my “errors”. Well I took him a sampling and he broke out his microscope and soon he was making stacks. He said these went under the same die because the errors were the same. I’ve gone through a couple more rolls and am finding more. What should I do? Pictures below
I'm not an expert on Doubled Dies. While waiting for the error experts to give their opinions you can check against these sites: http://doubleddie.com/814597.html http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/doubledDies.html http://www.lincolncentresource.com/
I don't see a listed doubled die for the 1961 D, and I've seen machine or die deterioration doubling like yours exhibit. Still, there are around 75 repunched mintmarks for that date, might as well look for those
