I found a very prominent double die on a 1944-s penny. Now what?

I checked one of the wexler/coneca sites and 5 coins came up, not like those. The 1 and 9 are not machine doubled, the real thing. The 44 are more like machine doubled. Do I need to send it somewhere to have it identified as a new variety? I doubt I could post a pic or take one for something like this.

    Short of posting a picture here, you could also check out coppercoins for any matches. Their variety listings are almost all illustrated so you shouldn't have any question if it is listed there. If you still think you have a new variety, I believe James Wiles at CONECA is still examining and attributing coins, the instructions for submitting coins are here.

    I did and it didn't match the 5 that came up on a search.

    Clearly different , the 9 and 1 are doubled prominently.

    ...a pic would be great........even a scan might help minimize the guessing. image

    Pictures are nice but not necessary. God gave us all imaginations! That sounds like actual doubling-- I would send it in for sure. I'm guessing AU-50 for the grade.

    I can try to scan it tonight but only if someone can post it. I am sure it would go over the 50kb limit if I do it anyway. Anyone know how and willing?

    Create and upload photos to photobucket.com and then post the picture using the [IMG] [ /IMG] tags (remove the space before the backslash)
