Henri Charriere Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Welcome aboard! I see the "doubling" you are referring to. The more experienced members will probably ask you to post photos of your coin, front and back, to assist you further in identification. I am not sure what you mean by "steel sealed" but they undoubtedly will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmure Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 Sorry about that it was supposed to say still sealed in plastic bank roll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 You have Machine Doubling along with might be some Die Deterioration Doubling. Doesn’t really matter as both are a worthless type of doubling. Sandon and JT2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen them used by banks, which provide rolls of coins in paper wrappers or shrink wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the 1960 cent you posted displays machine/strike/mechanical doubling which is common and has no added value. However, cents minted in 1960 are not steel.

powermad5000 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I am voting in the camp that there is a combination of some strike doubling and also some die deterioration doubling. I notice the very mushy and slope like appearance in spots in one of the photos and the "ragged" and not at the same height secondary image in the others. You are correct there is mechanical doubling present on this coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
