Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Can you get a good closeup of the mintmark? That sort of looks like an RPM.

Here's a couple images, hopefully they're good enough. Tell me please what makes you think it's an RPM...

 

Looks like a minor rotated (maybe tilted) RPM. I see split serifs. Nice one.

 

Small Date 1960-D Lincoln Cent DDO-001 ! This one also has a Cud Error on the left lower side of Lincoln's Memorial

 

1959 Lincoln Cent ! This one is DDO-001 and 002 combine

 

Rick, it's impossible for a coin to have a combination 2 different doubled die listings on the same coin. You can't have a combination of die 1 and die 2 on the obverse of 1 coin, because they are physiclly 2 DIFFERENT dies.
As to your "small over large date", that isn't it either. It's a normal small date.

 

If I am not mistaken Morgan Dollars Do.N.C.

 

You should change your name sir, it all makes " CENTS " now, thats non cents !! lol !!! I guess you never heard of combos on vams sir, keep in mind, both errors can be found on this coin, photos don't lie !!!!!

 

Thats just what I told him, he needs to go back to the roll searchers blog, where he came from !!! lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

But 1DO-001 and 1DO-002 are physically 2 different obverse dies used to strike cents. How can they be combined?

 

Easy, later stages of one of thoses dies ! Thats why all ddos & ddrs come in stages ! Heres a 1963 with the same kind of error

 

Ok, you're talking about die stages, but esrlier you said "DDO-001 and DDO-002 combined". Your coin is neither a combination of doubled dies, nor a doubled die at all. It's die deterioration.

 

Hey non cents a 1960-D small date DDO-001 comes in four different stages, and their looking for the fifth stage as we speak !!!!!

 

No sense of fighting, its not worth it ! Keep up the hunt, thats why were all here !!!!

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the "stage" of a die is relative to it's "life" during the coining operation. What this means, is that a fresh, brand new die will produce a strong, sharp image. Call that Stage 1.
As the die is used, it goes through required "on the press" cleaning which may impart die scratches to the die thereby creating "Stage 2"
As the die continues to wear, the die scratches get compressed out of the die and the details begin to look mushy with rounded edges.
Throw some machine doubling into the mix and the devices on the die begin to open up.
During the last stages of the dies life, ghosted or doubled images begin to appear.

No where in the life of the die, is it removed from the coining press and "rehubbed".

The ONY possible way that a die could carry two different varieties would have to have occurred during the hubbing process where a DDO-001 hub were impressed into a DDO-002 die (or vice versa) on the second or subsequent impressions.

However, such a scenario would also produce a series doubled die meaning that the initial doubling occurred "on the hub" AND every DDO-001 or DDO-002 coin would be a combination of the two different varieties.

As for the Morgans, please list what "double" VAMs you are referring to that are NOT related to die state such as polishing, cracks, scratches, rusted dies, or die breaks.

 

Its not a question of "fighting" unless your the one fighting) as much as its a question of "understanding" how such a scenario might occur.

 

1921-s I graded one a time ago, if you need the vam, let me know

 

Rick, don't mistake my words for a fight. I'm just clarifying some facts so that when newbies read this thread, they don't mistake your coin for an actual doubled die.

 

A little extra metal, never hurt anybody

 

Turned out it was not what I hoped it to be and had to return it.
