Found a 1944 Merc double die??

crazyjarhead · Mar 12, 2009

Found this 1944 merc last week and posted it. Many of you say it may be a double stamp. I re-took some pics the best I could. It looks like it may be. But what's your thoughts. Thanks, Ron

It appears to be on the 9 & 4, but I don't see it anywhere else on the dime!

That is nuts. I have never heard of a 44 error. It absolutely looks like a double from the pics. It would probably be worth a ton if it is. Take it to an expert and see what they say.

Thanks for the replies. The 9 is bigger. Not like others I have

You're freaking my eyes out. :tard:

Stop that! :tongue3:

Very strange indeed Ron.
I hope it does turn out to be a double stamp. :thumbsup:

Well Ron , I see what appears to be doubling in pic. #1 , but i do not see it in pics

2 and 3 . Hope I didn't send you on a wild goose chase . Argentium.

It's the same coin. Look at the neck area. There is a little dimple near the throat area.

seger98 · Mar 13, 2009

Hey Ron, I'd take it to a coin dealer see what they say, sure looks like it to me.

Sure looks like a double stamp date to me, especially the first pic. PCGS didn't have any varieties listed on their site, but that don't mean it doesn't exist. Nice find cjh! :thumbsup:

There are different kinds of double die. Most common i believe are called mechanical double die "Mechanical Doubling Damage". Its fairly common and doesnt fetch much of a premium. What you're looking for is hub doubling. Get it checked if you want but its most likely the MDD

Looks like there is something at the 94 but I don't see anything else....Matt

Bartman · Mar 13, 2009

I saw it last week and I see it again. Doubling on the 9,4 and other 4 is apparent to me. After your post I went and checked the red book and they didn't list this variety. I also did a google search and I couldn't find any reference to it. I have no idea as to the cause of the doubling, but I'd follow-up on it if I were you. Nice find!

Yes,

It does appear to be struck funny. I bet there is a example of one in a good coin book guide. I think the 42 has a similar error out there.
