Dewey911 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I found this penny among my collection of pennies that my father had dug from the ground. Would love some opinions as to what dies may have been used and what I have in general, thanks. Same coin below just different lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R420coins Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Hello.is that doubling on the date? The 1 and 9?Or is that just MD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewey911 Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 I believe it's just how the coin was struck but no doubling that I see. The 1 and 9 appear weaker and less crisp than 2's. The final 2 being the sharpest of the 4 numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenstang Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I always for some reason have trouble with these but it appears that you may have a Die Pair #2. Perhaps someone else can verify or dispute this. (Hope I'm right) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewey911 Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 After doing a little more reading and research I would agree with you that I believe it's pair #2. The reverse is all extremely sharp and finely detailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I think this would be worth submitting. If it is verified as a Die Pair #2, it would increase the value being slabbed. Let us know how you make out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
