Jhughes34 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I have 2 of these coins, but I can not find a variety online or in books? Would this be the first DD reverse for the 1990 5 pence? You can see it starts in the V and goes through the E in pence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Bob Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 My guess would be die erosion, not hub doubling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conder101 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Doesn't look like a doubled die. Looks more like either machine doubling or die deterioration doubling. Images aren't close enoug or sharp enough to be sure which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conder101 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I did, and I can see the doubling. But the image quality isn't good enough to determine what caused the doubling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conder101 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Thanks, that nailed it down nicely. Definitely die deterioration doubling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldhoopster Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Not seeing any split serifs. No widening of the letters. Flat. Doubling on both sides of some letters. I agree with conder, die deterioration, not hub doubling VKurtB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
