Doubled Die Thread

Vetter

Okay, admit it. Who doesn’t like a good Doubled Die? Post your if you got them. I’ll start with 3 of mine, although I have more. Ready, set, go!

I have a feeling this thread is going to go sideways with trolls, and quickly, but anyway...

No TVs for the other as of yet.

I only have a few, not really a big fan of varieties myself. 1955 1C, 1972 1C (the big one), a minor 72 1C, and 1995 1C, only have a photo of my 72.

@lermish beat me to it, but here are some more Double Die Trade Dollars:

Forgot that I do have a slab photo of this minor 72 DDO

OnWithTheHunt

$9 20-some years ago. Still one of my favorites.

Here is pair of minor 1923 DDO cents most of you will never (care) to see. But I like them. Look at the fat tail on the 9 and the curved letters of Liberty.

I have always wanted one of these, looked for years to cherrypick one on eBay, but I have never come across an example to buy. There is a very nice doubled die on the opposite side of this coin that I also wouldn't mind owning someday.

For some reason (possibly related to the !955 DDO having been a recent, spectacular (though unobtainable) thing when I was a kid, I like the various kinds of doubled-die coins, particularly cents (which often are affordable even in high grades). Herewith a few of mine:
One of the iconic DDO coins:

1909 S over horizontal S:

A nice RPM in a wartime steel cent:

1944-D/S

RPM and small date over large date; not exotic, but such fun:

A more modern, traditional DDO

1983 doubled-die reverse:

Goldminers

Ok, here are a few of mine. I'll start with a reverse and work down to a couple of my favorites.

I love "Doubled Dies!"
Here's one I hunted down recently while CoinRollHunting.
Very difficult to find.
Unfortunately, it has that dreaded, "Ring of Death!".
Still, an AWESOME Doubled Die!

'55 got the dreaded "Gennie" holder. Not gradeable . (Smoothed) . One of my most disappointing submissions since my initial membership 18 years ago . Oh well. It still brought $2000 , but .... I couldn't see it.

These are in for crossover.

What does the term smoothed mean with the 1955 DD?

All are nice!

Great example! I have an example in xf45 myself. I would love an MS example someday.

On the topic of double dies, I thought this would be of interest, and maybe new finds! Enjoy!

Interesting varieties of doubling: (see links for each denom/type)

Found this one in pocket change back in 1997. I believe it is still pretty hard to find.

Sorry about the tiny close ups, I’ll have to work on that next time.
