Possibly.

But it is doubleD die.

 

Hard to tell from the photos, might just be strike doubling. There is a DDO variety for that coin, but nothing in the way of a doubled die reverse variety.

 

Its definatly not strike doubling I have several coins I found that are strike doubling and this is not anything like them. This is like a letter stamped on top of another letter just off to the right a hair.

 

Still tough to see. I wish I can say for certain you have a DDR.

 

Meaning the letter on the top is a little right of the letter on the bottom.

 

Based on these pics, it looks like flat, shelf-like. But, better pics may look different.

 

For example I have a 1989 penny that I was told is strike doubling and as you can tell its different. Seems like its more of an indention into the metal than someone struck on top of the letters or numbers. Pay attention to location of the light and how the shadows and the coin looks.

 

That's not strike doubling, that's die deterioration doubling.

It looks like machine doubling to me, but your photo is blurry. Unless you have a macro lens or built-in macro capability on your camera, your enlargements will continue to look blurry.

Also, I'm not trying to be a wise guy, but can you tell me how you identify machine doubling? You say it doesn't look anything like others coins you have with machine doubling, but that really doesn't mean anything.

Check Here: http://www.coppercoins.com/diesearch.php for a list of 95-d DDR. Can't tell in your picture whether or not your coin is a DDR.

 

Dear Mr. Wise Guy,

I dont know jack about coins I am just going by what others have told me.

 

Thanks so much for that website that will be a huge help. Wish other folks would give helpful info instead of flaming.

Thanks,

Preston

 

Your original statement was:

which gave the indication you had some experience with collectible coins. No one is flaming you, we're just trying to see what you thought you saw.

Here's another site that will show you all the non-collectible types of doubling:

If that's the way you want to be, then I won't bother wasting my time. You go ahead and learn the hard way.

LMAO sorry I couldn't help it. Usually when someone says they aren't trying to be a wise guy they are. Don't take stuff so personal...sheesh

 

So I take it doubled die and machine doubling can look the same and the difference is that one is an acual error on the die itself and the other is an error that happened when the coin was struck. I just read the difinitions of them and I think I understand more. This is still so confusing to me makes me want to roll all the coins and just take them to the bank and not even worry about looking through them.

 

Chris is a natural born wise guy... he can't help it, it's in his genetic makeup. However, that being said, the guy knows numismatics, so when he speaks, most of us listen. And truthfully, he really is a nice guy (once you get to know him).

 

Who is taking it personal?

All I was trying to do was determine what you do and don't know. Since you already know everything, you don't need any help.

Would this be an examble of hub doubling?
