I am still mastering the art of double die differentiation, so I was wondering if I could get some opinions on this Penny I came across. Seems to have a lot of doubling on date, lettering, portion of head and on side of building. I am thinking it may be machining?
Die Deterioration Doubling - Common on Zinc Plated Cents I want to share this webpage with you - http://www.error-ref.com/die-deterioration-doubling-incuse/
Also, the correct terminology is Doubled Die.. not Double I want to share this webpage with you - http://www.error-ref.com/double-die/
Forgot to ask a question or two, my apologies, hope you guys dont mind. I am trying to see if I have somewhat of a better understanding of this, after reading some of the info provided to me. Main difference between a Doubled Die and a DDD is the prominent and cohesive features in said doubling section, I.E. 1955/55 Doubled, shows it in very nice and fine detail which can be generally viewed without visual aids. DDD generally needs magnifier for visual aid, doubling comes across in portions of the coin, not the full coin itself. DDD doubling isn't as prominent as a 1955/55 would be, like E. PLURIBUS seen in one of the pics above. Is it safe to say that most if not all DDD coins are going to be worth diddly? Or if they are, what would one base that off? Would it just be personal attraction to the coin rather than value/rarity?
Go to the link below and spend some quality time there. Be sure to go to the "how dies are made", "worthless doubling", and "doubled dies" sections along with all others. This is going to do more for you than any quick response here. http://doubleddie.com/
MD the second details are flat, and lower than the original devices. Md can happen anywhere on the coin, one letter or all of them.
