Latest pocket find..

blacksmoke

Even though it's not worth much more than it's face value, still just makes me smile to find little treasures like this. I think it's even a triple in places. There's a crack on the obverse, just inside the rim, running from Abe's shoulder up to the lettering.

Yup i just did not want to pop his bubble. But good eye.

This makes me realize that the emotion selector should have a bubble popping option. Balloons is as close as they have. That said, I understood that mechanical doubling had sharp ledges and double die varieties had more rounded, stacked types of doubling?? Was I misinformed? I know the lower part of the coin has that but the upper lettering is more rounded. Still learning..

Here is a link to take a look at How a DDO/DDR is made.

Wow. A lot of great info and thnx. It's bookmarked. My eyes started going goofy on me. So many pictures, some of them the letters started looking recessed instead of raised. So every "doubled die" is not going to be the only one of it's kind and is going to be produced until the die wears out/is damaged or is discovered? Man, imagine a dishonest kind of person working at the mint! I'm sure they go through deep pocket searches before they're aloud to leave at the end of their shift! So, all this now said, this is a damaged Kookaburra rather than something awesome? ha ha. Oh well. If my bubbles are gonna be popped I'd rather it be done with some knowledge gained.

fun times some of the doubled dies are very hard to see also like a 1972 DDO #4. Die markers are very important also. here is a great link for inf and John Wexler is very approachable.

Hey forgot to say that multiple fors of doubling can be on the same coin. Don't get rid of this one use it as a reference coin to compair to others. I still think it is a neat find.

Oh I don't get rid of nothin when it comes to coins. ha ha

Nice,

I couldn't even see that w/o a loupe!

blacksmoke

I couldn't see it either. Damn eyeballs!! Not much to do in my life these days so I always pile up pocket change and look each coin over, one by one with my 10x loupe I used when I was a machinist.
