Gold color sue b

Good morning all. Learning a valuable lesson out here. Thanks for all ur help. A friend gave me some penny books awhile ago and I dragged these out of one book. What ya think? In the 1920 photo is it wear that makes the letters worn? Is the 1918 dd anywhere? How bout the 1949? The mint mark looks dd along with liberty. It looks bigger. Also what's with the 6 in 1926?

I know I am an old school collector. There is quite a dedicated group of collectors these days that do look for errors. I am not one of them. What I see here are circulated, hard working early date wheat cents. Once a coin has seen this much circulation it becomes near impossible to tell if something that appears out of hand is caused by rough and tumble life a coin this old is exposed to or not.

 

Makes sense my friend. Switching to quarters I seem to have run into a bunch of errors. Again I'm no expert but learning fm u pep gets me closer. I do have to say it's soooo much work, but fun. OK here are 3 1965 quarters. There are something wrong with these. Im guessing DD. The trw in ..in God we trust, liberty and the bottom of neck and check out the nose by the eye. I didn't check out the reverse that good. I'll be posting more quarters aft I look at em. Thanks all

 

Those just look like well circulated coins. If you look at more coins that are much closer to mint state and even visit some coin shops that have mint sets you will get a better idea of what you are looking for. Doubled Dies are technically graded there condition is only one of the attributes looked for.
Most attributes, die markers and detail is lost at an XF level depending on the class of DDO or DDR.
If you don't know what I mean by class?
Wexler defines them pretty well.

Happy collecting it is fun.

 

Thanks for the site. Gaining more knowledge as I learn from the pros. Now this 1998 quarter looks like a DD. Can I be right?

 

Found a gold plated SBA in my dads collection. It came from Littleton coin co. Just thought @Jimm might like to see one to compare his too. Mine is still in wrapper.

 

Yo bear thanks for pic. As I look at mine I see places where the plating is wearing off and it's circulation I bet. Worth what? 2bucks

 

with all the scratch's I'd say damage on the 8 ,the SBA is plated!

 

Morning all. Someone told me to get off the pennies so I was looking at the quarters I have and came up with these. The 1998 looks like a DD, no? And a few letters in....in God we trust? The reverse doesn't look like any errors. Any thoughts on this? Also on the 1970s quarter, obverse the in God we trust looks like some letters are DD. As for the reverse why are the letters look like their smashed. Is this from circulation?

 

Jimm I left a link for you to double die .com did you read the areas on True die doubling Doubled Dies, and also the area about worthless doubling?

Let's put it this way, 99.9% of the coins you find will be worthless doubling.

But knowing what is and what isn't is why we use the information written by the experts. Some study and you will learn to identify the difference.

 

Didn't see the link my friend till now. Thanks again. I'd hate to be wasting my time looking for DD when I don't know what to look for. Tanks again

 

Finding a true doubled die coin is a tough road. They are out there but most are so minor that there is little value. If you have fun doing it, go for it.

 

There was a set come out by some company that had gold plated 3 coins and 1 of the coins was the SBA , the other 2 were a Journey nickel and a dime I believe . Those came in a little blue box and were sold as a novelty item .

 

Hey @Jimm usually when you switch coins it is a good idea to make a new post. Welcome to CT

 

Make separate posts for items to get a better response. Your heading is for a SBA then you jump to pennies and then quarters. Not a great way to get feed back, IMO.

 

Ohhhhh my bad. Sorry
