My first error coin?

I see machine doubling in the "2000" worn die edging above "states of america" I'm hoping the rest is double die on front and back?

Sorry Marie. But all you are seeing is caused by a worn die strike. Die Deterioration

 

You broke my heart, been looking at this so long I'm dizzy

 

Sorry I broke your heart my detecting friend

Honestly. I'm a mint error specialist. Doubled die issues fall under the Variety Category. I don't bother looking for them. They would make me dizzy also.

As Paddy notes, die deterioration. As you note, there is die wash where the field meets the rim. When you see this, the die face is no longer flat and the wear around the edges creates this effect. Another characteristic is the blurring of the date and other outer device details. The 1955 Poor-man's Doubled Die is a classic example, especially the last 5 in the date as it lands in the area where the field meets the rim.

 

Thanks for the info, I'll definitely look it over. I cant wait for the ground to thaw and get detecting again, this hobby is h a r d LOL

 

It sounds like you might be from the North. It reminds me of a friend who was a relic hunter in Virginia. He liked to hunt in the winter when there weren't any snakes. This initially stumped me because where I live, the ground is frozen and not friendly for digging.

 

I just got my new detecting shovel with belt clip. I'm ready for the Spring! Double serrated!

 

Is that the one advertised to cut down a tree?

 

That shovel has some spikes on it! Looks like something I could use here in Minnesota to get through the ice

 

It's from a worn die. All the doubling I see is NAV doubling.

 

I knowwwww that feeling!! loLLLZ I grew calluses on my heart....and eyeballs!!

I have held ancient coins so long in a hand examining them that my hand muscles have cramped like crazy....ouuuchH!
