I can't see it from those photos. What area are you seeing the doubling in?

 

I see something in the 9 & 6, but also the MM. Don't know if its just the pics or not.

 

Doubling on date and mint mark in the same direction is a sign of machine doubling. This happened on many 1968-1971 Cents. If so no extra value for them. But closer images would help.

 

I can see the filled R in Liberty, but I can't see the doubling.

 

I checked on LCR, and they have a listing for an RPM..(Re-Punched MintMark) for that year.

 

I recently found the same thing.. if you look at the right side of the profile of lincoln you can clearly see the doubling.. Mine is not in as good condition..

 

I see something interesting going on in IN GOD WE TRUST

 

i have a 1968 d penny with the e in e pluribus unum missing. also, on the obverse,
there seems to be a shadow on liberty and on the date (i wouldn't go so far as to call it doubling) last but not least it appears to have a faint i between
the e and r in liberty. i have uploaded pictures. i would
appreciate any input.

thank you,
rhonda

 

i note on the obv that the slant line in ONE is almost missing.

 

the E in we looks doubled to me--class vi. the date is. i have one that is "slurred"--probably defective die but it increases the doubling. it should be reported to the cherry pickers guide book editors. thanks.

 

so you think it might be worth a buck or two?

 

jonny oneal: Thank you for exposing me to "doubled die class vi". I'll remember them when I see BEK's (Bruce Eric Kaplan) cartoons in The New Yorker. He draws dumpy little people. But it also makes me feel any weird letters or numbers might be mistaken for being variety vi.

 

In reference to the first posting it is not possible to assess that there is a double die when all the photos show selective light sources. What is needed is a diffuse light source.

 

can you please tell me how i might accomplish this? (i am using a flat bed scanner to get the picture of the coin)

 

I don't believe you have any control on the light source of a scanner. Photography permits the use of a diffuse light source but requires good control on focus, which is possible to get more readily with a digital camera.

I wonder if you could solve this problem by making the whole background of the scanner be a black, matte finish: then you would be eliminating some light scatter.

 

i think i got it now. thanks for the tip. this time i didn't brighten up the image

 

like this?

 

I'm sorry. It didn't seem to help.
