Couple of Doubled Dates?

Let me know what you think. First 1964 D Roosevelt, check out the 9

Next the 1920 Lincoln cent, check out the 2.

 

I don't know about the dime. But the 1920 Lincoln cents are notorious for the excessive die wear that many exhibit, so likely any doubling is die wear related. Below is a picture of the reverse "pluribus" from an AU 1920 cent struck from dies well past their prime.

 

The 1964 Dime Possibly.
But I dont see anything for the 1920 Wheat cent

 

Do you see a split serif on the 2?

 

look in the circle:goofer:

 

There are two variations of the "9" on the 1964D. One variation had a pointed end and the other is what you have, the straight end. The 64D does have a known doubled die reverse. Mintage of 1,357,517,180. I dont know of any other variations.

 

Thanks scotto, Now what does that mean I have hear?? Calling on a Dime expert please! Does that mean I have both 9 variations on this coin?

 

As noted the Lincoln Cent is only a worn out die similar to the famous 55 poor man's double die. Not worth any more than the price of a well worn coin. However, that dime looks like the real thing for sure. It's a shame though that the market for such slight errors and especially on modern dimes is just not that great yet. Hang on to that one. The market for all error coins is on the increase.

 

Thanks justcarl, I'll have more pics later. Looks like it may be a 1964 D DDR , With Doubling on the Obverse.

 

rujam,

There is definitely an extra tail on the "9"! However, it is doubtful that they are different variations of the tails (straight and pointed).

Thanks Huntsman53, I have looked on the Net to try and find another example of this. I have seen a listing of a 1964 D DDO but no Pics.

What should I do next?

 

Rujam,

There are two 1964-D "DDO" Roosevelt Dimes listed on Coneca's Website but I don't think that your's matches either one! You should contact the Dime Expert at Coneca and inquire as to whether you should send it to him or her for authenticating and entered into the books if in fact it is a new DDO Variety.

One more pic of Date, check out the artist initials.

 

They definitely appear to be doubled! I also noticed that there is apparent doubling on the "1", "6" and "4" of the Date which are somewhat masked because of the tilt of the Doubling. This doubling is seen as extra thickness which is typical of Class VI Doubled Dies but I am sure that this is not the case with your' dime especially considering the extra tail on the "9". It is possible that this is a new and previously unknown Doubled Die Variety and you should contact the Dime Expert at Coneca to see if this is the case.

Attached are photos of the blunt and pointed 9 varieties.

So Atrox001 what do you think? Thanks for the pics by the way

By the way, I like to post on another forum when I think I may have something. I am going through Hell on the other one.

 

rujam...I think the doubling on your 64D Roosevelt dime is most likely mechanical. Here are a couple of examples of die doubling on the dates of a couple of Kennedy half dollars.

Hi,
Have the coin looked at by a person who can attribute overdates. This may be something that I have not seen yet. It has the apearance of being an overdate with the blunt 9 variety over a pointed ( variety.

I havent looked at anything but the dime yet, but don't lose that one!

Nothing on the 1920 cent
