<p>[QUOTE="JSparrow1220, post: 3271120, member: 97751"]Hey guys, I hope that everyone is having a good day. Okay, so I've read listings on Wexler's site and seen people on here refer to double die coins having this little bitty thing that I still cannot seem to understand: NOTCHES. Based on the thousands of pictures I've looked at, notches (to me) appear as very small pieces missing off of numbers/letters on a coin or very small dots that appear on the edges of numbers/lettering. I'm still asking myself, "What do I look for" and "How do I know what I'm looking at if I find them". Someone more knowledgeable of this particular subject referred to notches the other day looking like, "Slashes through the coin". Okay, so does that mean that I should look for pieces missing on the corners of characters on the coin? These pictures that I'm posting may or may not have anything special about them, but it's the particular year that I've been looking at today. 2009 pennies. As always, any helpful pointers would be greatly appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>(The pictures posted are of 2 P mint Formative Years cents)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
