1969 S errors several different coins

[pahwa]

I figured I would group coins of like errors and dates together. These are probably doubling but I can always hope that they are. :l

How did I do this? Put it under the wrong area. Daniel is there any way to more it over to the mint error forum?

Looks like all strike doubling to me.

I'd also say strike doubling, but even if they were varieties, none are the really rare 1969s ddo.

How many coins are you showing?

I don't seem to have this feature on this board. It might be the bug that's eluded my fixing.

There are 4 different coins.

Yeah I found quite a few samples of doubling in the few coins I had. There is a lot of doubling in most of the years I have been searching also some years are loaded with die cracks. I think I will stick to looking for die cracks cause one, I can tell what they are and two, they are easy to spot and are sort of cool. :l

Almost 75% [it seems] of 1983 pennies have a die crack on either bottom corner of the building on the reverse. I only keep coins with really noticeable die cracks in odd places, though. Lately, I've [only] found a 1939 nickel which looks to be between AU55 and MS61, and it still has some luster. Not worth much, but a good one to fill a hole [in a folder].

I'm [practicing] using brackets, which you could [probably] tell.

69 thru 72 are notorius for strike doubling, and a big indicator is doubling on the mint mark. The mint mark was added by hand until 1990 so it should not be doubled on a true doubled die coin. You could possibly have an RPM on a doubled die, but they should be doubled in different directions if that combo happened.

You are doing good with the brackets. Like me with the little arrow thingy on the pictures. Love that function. I found (all pennies) that some cracks in the 58 obverse and on the 55 a few cracks and some lamination problems the last couple of days. I had like 8 54 S's and found like 5 or 6 MM errors. Like are 50% of the 54 S's damaged? Coppercoins shows around 15 variations. I am trying to remember which coin like a 57 or 58 had around 25 MM errors and out of 50+ coins I didn't find one. :l Wouldn't you know it. Unfortunately the mm errors are very small. I would like to find one with a very dramatic error. I have found several very nice doubling specimens though. I am sure everyone is tried of doubling pics but these are pretty dramatic so I may post a couple of pics of more doubling. I have looked at so many coins here lately that my eyes are hugeeyes out! :l Actually with so many errors found in the wheaties that I use the scope for each coin.

Hmmm, brackets eh. I always use parentheses. Maybe I best start trying those brackets. But man habits are hard to break.... ()

Hi Roger, you are so right. I am finding that the hard stamped coins [I guess what I am calling hard stamped are the coins that have very distinct and very strong, thick letters] or maybe the little alloy is a little softer causes lots of doubling. Thanks for the info.
