Hinkle Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I know this is Machine Doubling, my question is, when you find this type of none since happening at the last numeral of the date, is the mint press of the coin pressure causing that to happen. I've been researching how mint coins are made , but interesting and fun to know more about how the minting process works. Thanks Also, they call the 1955 a poor man's double die. This coin probably isn't called that , just comparing the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This coin probably isn't called that , just comparing the two You are right that's not the classic "poor man's double [sic] die" which is also a 1955 cent with less doubling from loose and worn dies during the strike, compared to the true 1955 DDO 1C created from a misaligned or rotated second press during hubbing of working dies. Also it is "doubled die" and not "double die". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1955_doubled_die_cent https://www.pcgs.com/news/its-doubled-die On 11/19/2023 at 2:01 PM, Hinkle said: I've been researching how mint coins are made, but interesting and fun to know more about how the minting process works Concerning the coin production process and doubling there is some really good info at the following links.

powermad5000 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I am happy to hear you are looking into mint production. Those that familiarize themselves with the processes are more likely to be able to self grade better as well as realize other factors on coins and how they happen.

Hinkle Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 Thanks everyone, yeah I'm studying out of a coin magazine how dies and the way coins are minted. I'm at the part right now reading the counter fit dies. Interesting, it shows the images of the replica dies. I would never know how people would get their hands on dies.

It's "doubled" dies. https://www.pcgs.com/news/its-doubled-die Hinkle, powermad5000 and Mike Meenderink 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
