If you are waiting for them to drift in here, maybe ther spring thaw will wash a few in. Sometimes you gotta coax em in. What do you need?

I read in a Coin World magazine that some 2003 philadelphia pennys are double die. Just wanted to check it out. I think ill go though my change again

Louis

Good luck !!!

Ignore all those other answers. This is the scientific response to your question. I live in OR we get about one Philadelphia cent per 100, or 1%. In Philadelphia they get about 99% philadelphia coins. Now, stay with me. Iowa is roughly 40% of the way across the nation from PA to OR. Therefore, given the laws of free circulating coin diffusion you should have 60% P mint cents. No more, no less. If you get less or more, well then you're probably counting wrong, because you can't argue with science.

Well I found one and it turns out its double die
Its vary faint on the reverse of some 2003 philadelphia pennys if you use a microscope u look at the bottem one of the pillers and on the top steps you might see a few vertical lines thats suppost to be part of the pillers

Cents don't really circulate well so there is very little mixing of the mint marks across
the country. Quarters circulate much more freely and do travel. To get an idea of how
well just get a nice random sample and separate them by date and mint. Then compare
the numbers you found with the numbers minted. You will find that the older the coin the
more likely that it is represented according to mintage while the newer coins will predom-
inantly be those of the nearer mint.

Some of us would be interested in your results or the results of either coast. The quarters
in the midwest are very well mixed after only about six years.

Coin World had an article on these lately.

They show pics of Die 1, 2 and 3.

Die #2 is the strongest.

Suspected to be tilted hub doubling.
