Let's talk doubling

That's what I originally thought after reading the tutorial, but I needed confirmation to build my confidence in identifying these types of things. The 'shelf' on the letters is pretty obvious

Sorry I meant to say I also appreciate your input and confirmation on that for me

 

That shelf is a big indicator. You'll also notice how how if you were to subtract the flat area, it would take away from the normal design. It's a classic example and should give you a good reference. They can be confusing at first, especially the more dramatic ones, but once you've had a few like this in your hand, you'll start picking up on MD immediately.

 

Thank you Simon for the Post, and also jallengomez (who also knows quite a bit) for additional input and explanation.

 

Ejection doubling as I have seen it is from movement during the retraction of the dies, but not yet clearance of the dies and thus the scalloped edges. Until the full clearance of the dies, which would eliminate them from minting effect, I would put them into the area of machine doubling. It is not a variety as it occurs from misadjustment of the mechanical parts.

I think this is a good post to bump for people that are just getting in to doubled dies, and might have a little trouble telling the difference.

 

very good post, i can now safely tell myself that these lincolns i found are machine doubling, or as it goes here, MD.

 

Your coin appears to be either die deterioration doubling or MD. Glad you enjoyed the tutorial.

lol i was searching pennies while reading the thread, didnt even realize what pic i posted, oops

 

Excellent post non_cents!

I've just started looking at my change pile while looking at "Strike It Rich With Pocket Change".

I think I understand it better after reading your post.

Thanks!

Good to hear! If you are looking for more literature, I would HIGHLY recommend the Cherrypicker's guide to die varieties, edition 5 volume 1.

 

Is that the one published in 2008?

Hey, I guess it has been exactly a year and 1 day. Imagine that.

 

I am very new to coin collecting and this has been extremely helpful. These pictures are far better than the pictures in all the books I have Thanks for taking the time to post!

 

Where would I look to purchase a 1995d-1do-001? Couldn't find any on eBay and didn't see any. Saw "1995p-DDO-001“ for $25...

 

Same thing I think just listed a little different maybe.
