1984 doubled die penny?

The picture is not that great because I can't get a close up. It looks like doubling on the reverse in the words united states and one cent. Can you tell?

I see the doubling but the photos are hard to tell. Do you have a 10x loupe? Stick that baby in front of your camera and take a few close up shots of just the words.

 

The E and D in united look interesting . Some clearer pictures will be needed to help you out some more.

 

I suspect its Machine Doubling, but I can not be certain from the photos.

 

agreed

and ditto

Remember the 1984 'biggie' is the obverse

 

Here are the best pictures I can get

 

There are 10 listed doubled die reverses but I do not have any photos to share. Possibly a check in the Cherry Pickers Guide might help and maybe someone could look them up for you? As Frank said, the biggie is the ear on the obverse.

 

There are no DDR's listed in the 5th Edition of the CPG.

Thank you Chris. I did not have my copy handy. No photos but here is the list.

 

Thank you guys. Chris, that is the only thing I have seen on this. I wonder if there is any real value though.

 

prob not worth much, most people want the DDO1

 

Honestly, I can't say for sure from your photos. The loupe/camera photos are still too blurry for me. Yes, a lot of people use the loupe for magnification, but it really doesn't do the job like a better camera would.

You must keep in mind that "value" is a relative term when it comes to numismatics. If you were to list a coin on eBay and several people were interested, the sale price might be high, but if only one person cared, it might sell for face value.

OK. That is what I needed to know. What does WDDR mean? I recognize most but not that one.

 

A lot of the experts prefix their own cataloging system with their last initial. The letter "W" probably stands for Wexler.

Ok, thank you.

Coppercoins.com, and doubleddie.com (wexler's site) are the best for having pics. On the 1984 reverse you want to look at the R in America. The doubled die will have a split serif on the east leg of the R.

 

I don't

see anything on the R at all.

 

The 2 S's in STATES look like that.
