1974 D Lincoln penny Doubled Die Reverse??? I bought 10 lbs of copper pennies and have found a few interesting coins Along with a 1972 double date. But im almost sure this is doubling but i can't find any info on a 1974 d
the doubling looks strike-ish to me... as in, strike doubling. Good job with the pics though! They clearly show that the doubled part is flat, and shelflike; resembling stairs. (NOT doubled die, sorry!) Welcome to the forum, and keep searchin' :thumb:

ok. sorry my answer in the other thread wasn't worded the best there is no premium for coins with 'strike doubling' and though they can look neat and I keep the really dramatic ones too, many people consider it to be damage. A 'Doubled Die' is where the die itself has a doubled component, where strike doubling occurs when the die vibrates (or any number of tiny influences) while striking the coin. I hope I've been more helpful to you this time around So you can see it as: It's only a penny; spend it. OR: A physical representation of a learning experience in your hobby that you can use as a future visual aid for comparison, that only cost a penny.
Yeah, definitely shelf doubling, strike doubling, machine doubling... Whatever - It's doubling caused during the coin's striking, not caused by doubling on the hub. -Brian
