1944-S Philippine centavo doubling

Blackhawk

While searching coin sites, I came upon tbirdes error site. In it he shows a 1944-S Philippine centavo with hub doubling on the word STATES I got three of the coins in RB Unc. last week and when I took a look at them, all had this doubling. Is this very common or did I just happen to get coins from the same set of dies?

Here's the site if you want to take a look...link

Congratulations, Blackhawkthey must be beautiful! I am currently admiring my friend's collection of the US-Philippine series. Lemme check...

Yes, there is doubling on my friend's 1944-S centavo too! That makes 4, in UNC that have the same doubling. I'm not certain if this is common, my friend Justhaving fun would be the person to ask.

Very interesting. I have a roll of these lying around someplace, either here (Bangkok) or in Manila. Right after breakfast I'll see if can find 'em. If they're here, we can give you a quick assessment about how commonplace this variety is.

Cordially,


Just Having fun!
