I thought this was a double die.

Instead it came back a pop1 for the grade. I submitted it with a 1972 cent and a 1957 d cent. ( which I also thought was a double die ) This was my first attempt at trying to deterime double die coins. I am currently checking out coppercoins.com to learn the basics.Text

did you get this in a secure plus holder?


did you wind up paying for the "mint error" fee on them?

Addictedtocoins

I submitted them with the variety fee. Should i have done different ?

MsMorrisine

variety is ok if it has a Fivaz-Stanton number in the Cherry Pickers Guide.

one of the cherry picker guides, maybe both have an EXCELLENT section on various doubling, I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about them

Do most coin shops have these books or do they have to be ordered on line ?

I was just asking because PCGS has a picture of the coin on the cert verification page. I thought they only did this for secure plus. maybe they changed to all coins getting pictures?

I agree - the cheapest I found was (believe it or not) WalMart on line. They will also deliver to your nearest WalMart for free.

Thank you everyone. I realize after the great advice from everyone here and, looking at coppercoins.com that I have to get that book.. and then go back and check thousands of pennys that I have gone through already again! But that's the exciting part of this hobby! The hunt ! I have overlooked a lot!
