Ok, so I'm new at roll hunting. I'm also very new at researching double dies. Roll hunting my first box last night with my 11 year old and found this guy on roll 7. I'm thinking it's DDO, but I'm not sure if it's some form of worthless doubling. I'd appreciate any input you could offer. Looks like overlaying on 9 and 7 and under the top of 0. And E, R and T. Not in MS/PF stare but I really think it's pretty good to find something like this on my first box. Thoughts???
That is machine doubling. Also called strike doubling. Go to doubleddie.com and research doubling there…imo…Spark
Hey Spark! Thanks for the reply! DoubleDie.com calls it mechanical doubling , indicative of the "shelf" look. Tremendous help. Thank you again!
@BigDaddyD1, welcome to CoinTalk! As you are now aware, this is worthless doubling.... Good luck coin roll hunting!
@Abramthegreat thank you. I try to research everything I come across that brings up questions. It does help to have another set of eyes when you're just starting out with anything new.
Your cent has MD or Mechanical Doubling which is only worth face value. Looking for doubled dies (correct term) is very hard. There are many types of doubling and only one is worth money. The best example is a 1955 DDO. Welcome to CT.
Hello, The correct numismatic terminology is Doubled Die not double die. There is a big difference. Here is a something I quoted from the following website - Wexler's Coins and Die Varieties (doubleddie.com) "The key to doubled dies lies in the name – doubled die! As we have seen, coins are struck by steel rods that bear the design images for the coins that they will be striking. These steel rods are called dies. For a doubled die coin to be produced, the doubled image must be on the die itself, hence the term “doubled die.” Doubled dies occur when there are mishaps in making the dies that will be used to strike the coins."
@paddyman98, @Collecting Nut, @Abramthegreat, @Spark1951 You all are kind and welcoming here. Thank you! I have another couple I came across tonight. Do you mind to look at? They are pretty close on coppercoin but with circulation, I can't tell if they are a specific variety. 1979 D-IMM-002 ??? 1979D-IMM-001 ???
