Great video...for a long time I didn't really understand what a double die was exactly then it it hit me one day and made sense.....your video is very good at explaining what a double die is truly and what it is not......I don't think I've ever heard it explained this clearly. Thanks.
Thank you for the visuals. I'm new to this idea of coin collecting and since in6 a visual learner your videos are most helpful. The use of pointer adds even more interest to keep coming back to your videos. It took me about a month to comprehend the small date large date varieties for the 82's because other videos verbally described the destinction as curve on the 2 or the line going straight down to the base so my mind was visualized the base being the base of the coin, not the base of the 2 and was about to give up and throw the idea of coin collecting out the window. So on behalf of us visuals-thank you very much! I get inspired watching your channel.
I actually never thought about looking for a DD on a buffalo. I was honestly looking for the spear This is why you are so EXCEPTIONAL at what you learn us. THANK YOU BOYFRIEND ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I did not know the die is created double before it ever strikes the coin! You are so helpful for us in the coin community! Excellent Information Daniel!!! Very pleased to have joined your channel! Looks like I have along way to go still! Love It! Hahahaha V 🎈👍🎈👍👍👍
Daniel, you are an outstanding teacher! I get so, so much from your teachings that I can't express how thankful I am for you. As a community of coin collectors as a whole we garner information from you that greatly enhances the hobbyist profession. What a huge difference you make to our hobby community. Thank you and thank you again for your willingness to graciously share your knowledge and expertise with us all. May our Lord Jesus Christ show you great mercy and grace for improving the livelihoods of others, myself definitely included. God bless, Louis
I'm glad that you elaborated more about doubled dies, continuing on from your first video about the difference between doubled dies and strike doubling. This help me a lot to visualize how dies are created and doubled.
Iv been trying to learn to identify these for a couple weeks and this video has provided the best progress in that effort so far. You got me subscribed. Let me see what else you have posted before I'm start harassing you with questions lol.
Finding that after watching enough of your videos I’m doing a lot more self correcting. The learning and finding what I think I have to what I actually have is what makes this so much fun even if my results aren’t what I hope they are. Still finding neat coins
Daniel, I feel like Helen Keller! I think I've got it now! You've spelled it out for me. Thank you so much. I was super confused before but thank you for illustrating how a doubled die happens! ☺️
You talked about looking at the coin from different angles. What I do is look at the image UPSIDE DOWN then if it looks like something I then rotate it slowly. I know that method works but I have not found a double (or hub doubled) yet. Thanks for the information.
Thanks Daniel for your time. I'm learning just not quickly enough to satisfy me it seems. Every time I see something different it's off down the rabbit hole again until understanding is had.
Hi. I like his silly videos.I use magnfiers ...different lighting and recently purchased a coal miners cap.SMILE A TINY SCRATCH ON A COIN CAN BE DEVASTATING WHEN YOU SEND IT IN FOR GRADING. NO KIDDING. ❤
Hey there. So, I'm fairly new to this and I'm finding it's fun, exciting and a bit challenging. I'm learning a lot from you and your channel. You're a great teacher ... Thank you 😊
Yes Daniel does explain things in a clear, descriptive way so even those (like myself) who have to watch over and over to get it. This patient easy manner detailed, methodical and thorough way of teaching shows his passion for coins whether collecting or searching or for some marketing their finds to make his presentations the best on you tube in my opinion. I would be remiss not to declare my appreciation for his time and effort to help us learn by giving us these videos.
I need more info. This was a good video but I think I get it. Thickness is one example. Drawings don't help me much. Still a great video to not end here. Thanks for your expertise, Daniel. It's just me because I'm just getting into errors after collecting for years. Have a great weekend holiday. I do hope you take some time off to enjoy this holiday for our veterans. American Woodland Relics has an awesome video up and we should all watch it. It doesn't take very long.
DEAR DANIEL. THAT BEAUTY OF A BUFFALO LOOKS LIKE IT'S ON IT'S LAST LEG! Could be my eyes..however she's a beautiful coin. THANK YOU ABOUT learning me Die Striation? That's AWESOME. WOW. I gotta lot more to learn THANK YOU FOR SHARING. Happy Memorial Day! 🐈🐈🐆🐆🐃💕💕💕💕💕
Ah I see. Thank you for helping everyone out with this video. Now I definitely have to re re re re recheck my coins. Now I know and understand what I'm looking for and at.
Always wondered about that, now I know. Thanks Daniel!!!! Oh and that 55 DD you showed I had as a kid, put it in a gumball machine. Man that was an expensive gumball. Wish I had that one back.
You probably had the well known machine doubled die 1955. It’s commonly known as the “poor man’s 1955 doubled die”. The crazy expensive ones were given out as change in cigarette vending machines. A pack of cigs cost $0.23 in 1955. People put in a $0.25 coin and a pack of cigarettes came out with 2 pennys taped to it as change. The famous 1955 Doubled Die Lincoln Cent was distributed that way.
Daniel, you are filling in my ignorance about numismatics faster than I can ever fill album slots!! It is so unfortunate to learn that coins are routinely melted down for profit! George.
Daniel, The first time we talked, I didn't like you very much. You took the wind right out of my sails ... but at the time you were talking to a dumbass 🤣... I was all set to auction my Pirate booty and retire. It's a good thing you took the wind away, before I sailed into bankruptcy having junk graded ... Thanks for the honesty, and tolerating my ignorance with grace. You have the best channel for coins, hands down. Thanks for sharing
Love your channel. Best by far, honestly. Thank you for letting us all in on the knowledge you’ve accumulated over the years. I have many ‘67,’68 P half dollars with major machine doubling. Does it add any value? Does it reduce value? Typically….. thanks again.
Thanks Dan I was confused especially with these newer coins they're so shiny that I was taking the the glare that they put around the coin as doubling I'm like everyone's double you did awesome you explain what I'm looking for now I always thought they made the numbers in the letters like you would make it a 3D look on the letters and numbers that's where I was getting confused thanks a lot again Dan I like to hear from you👍
Thank you Daniel for your teachings and helping those in need of. I've been watching your videos for awhile now but just recently joined. I have a few coins that I could use some help on what do you think of this.
Thanks for another perspective on true doubling...between mis-information and stigma of a sort,it's hard for beginners to understand the mechanics and also different types/classes of ddo varieties. Even mechanically inclined individuals like myself should have all the facts:)-R.R.
I had to put half of my keepers back into the spending bag after watchinh about 5 of ur videos.im glad ur out here so i dont sound like a idiot i was very misinformed..preciate the help buddy have a good one!!
Great video - very informative! Great find on that Buffalo! I will be at FUN so I'll have to watch for it! Just a thought but my main issue is trying to decide if a DD is evident on older more worn coins. Devices can spread with wear over time and it makes it much more difficult to decide on. A video on that would be AWESOME!
BOYFRIEND I am HAPPY you are drawing again! Tough beans....ypu are my favorite friend. It's that's a bad thing.... ( I care about you learning me). Sometime I think I may have my coins aced...then...oh lord...you help KEEP me in check.❤THANK GOSH you are drawing again my Picasso ❤×inifity
Thank you for a detailed explanation. Can you make a video explaining the mint process. We can better understand what errors are created at the mint and post.
I’m looking at a bunch of 1970 quarters for DDO and DDR I’m new to looking this closely . I have a pile of quarters some I think I can determine are dye deterioration but some of the reverse I can’t tell ?🤷♂️🤯
Still trying to figure out on that 1955 Lincoln cent how the doubling happens on the date and Liberty but not the face or torso! Great explaining on the dies thought!
Daniel, I have a 1969 "S" Mint Mark Penny; It looks like a Doubled Die on the Obverse. I'm trying to decide whether to send it off for grading or not; If you had one, and you thought it was a Doubled Die, which Grading Company would you send it to? Any information from you would be very helpful. Thank You.
Dan, I am looking forward to your next video on this subject ‘cause it does get confusing. My vision suffers and I have yet to find a good way to photograph my coins. My iPhone X would work if I could find a better way to stabilize it when taking pictures of the coins. How do you get such close-up and clear images for use on your RUclips videos? Do you really use only your phone camera?
I am new so all I have is a Carson minibrite 3x led lighted magnifier. It has a slide up lens with a light. I can hold my phone over the lens and it actually works pretty well. Just a thought for a little extra zoom. Like I said though, very new at this.
Thank you for the video and information. There are some things with DD's that can make them really tough to id even if you do have a better than average understanding of their mechanics and the classes. Im holding a 2007P Wyoming quarter DDR-001, and to me, if I hadnt known what to look for, would have said it was machine doubling. To me it looks as flat and shelf like as a any md ive ever seen. Without the green light from Wexler, idk how anyone would think it was anything else. Not sure what im not seeing. Or a Jefferson 2013P WDDR-004 or 5 or 7, without attribution how do you start to determine its a dd and not a clash mark or die damage? I dont wanna waste Wexlers time on something thats not checked out after doing all i can possibly do on my own. Or as you again touched on, some of those minor or even major lincoln dd's and others but with the addition of die wear, circulation and plating issues. How do you tell whats worth digging into deeper especially if not attributed when it appears to you to display often weak and less common or obvious dd properties that can at times be very similar to other causes. Someone's gotta find it first... Those are questions im having a tough time on and others have to be also id assume....i have a years worth of anomalies i cant nail down 100% on my self taught, at times picture only numismatic die variant education...and i have spent way too many hours more than an adult should trying to learn all this stuff..some things i know ill only nail down after discussing them and asking questions of a master in these categories......i wish there was a checklist....lol.... once again, im sorry this is this long but i hope you can understand where im at and what saying. No one expects you to have all the answers or to be responsible for doing anything but if there are any lesser known points of info you think might help, id love to know. Or i might just be a little slow and im missing a neon sign in front of my face....lol.....thank you!!!!!!
The best I can do is these videos otherwise you must match it with a known variety die markers and the images of known varieties. Even if it is a new it must still be a doubled die. You're paying people like Wexler so you're not wasting their time you're paying for their time.
CoinHELPu Yea, but ive heard that Wexler is not doing well, im not the kind of guy that wont do all i can FIRST, and besides, the whole point is that I wanna know how to tell this stuff apart myself! Wat good am i if im not working toward answering other peoples questions, accurately...Do I not have a valid point about those dd's i listed and at the desire to understand them and other errors at a higher level? Look, your busy, maybe your not the guy to be asking all this to and im again NOT trying to piss u off or argue with you or back you into a corner..i love this hobby....its my fun!!! .But im trying to be active in this field, learn and listen from those that know more than i do, to be accurate and helpful instead of unsure and useless.....i know your busy and not lookin for a deep discussion but if im missing something and am approaching this all wrong, please tell me....i just feel like your gettin me all wrong...hell, i offered to buy you a beer!!!! Hahaha
@@jimsullivan3481 no, not taking you wrong at all. I was the way you were at first and I just kept reading the books. I read the Cherry Pickers guides, Strike It Rich With Pocket Change, and Official Guide to Mint Error Values by Herbert, then when sites started popping up I read them like Wexlers. I am always learning. I think you might be taking me wrong. People want my help then tell me I am wrong and don't know what I am saying and that it must be a new error type since they couldn't find it. I started these videos to help answer all these questions. You have to take time and learn, picking everyone's brain isn't going to get you to a higher level because guys like me share their brain in video and written word. People who know share and it is there to learn, but you must be patient with yourself.
CoinHELPu Cool, im glad that we're all good. This hobby is my passion and im in no way trying to make enemies over something trivial or a misunderstanding. A lot can get taken wrong comunicating this way. I think ive said before, ive collected coins all my life, but have only really focused deeply on varieties and all the little details of the minting process the last year or so. And have only worked the forums the last 6 months. It can be frustrating though. I do not care about finding a retirement coin, though im not against it. I dont have a fantasy that my coin is a new discovery, though that would be cool. And im not one to dismiss the opinion of those I ask help or input from. But as you said, we're always learning and no one knows everything. I very well may be just where you were at then. Like a wall now i think and am struggling with certain points that arent clear to me and i cant find answers to. So anyways, i dont want to and would NEVER intentionally try to disrespect you or hijack your site with multiple types of posts you didnt intended for it but those are what i have built up at the moment. Also dont have any desire to argue with or disrespect you or anyone, or expect you personally to study and solve every case i put up. I just want to understand, discuss, share and learn more. And if theres anything that helped you that you think would help me, id appreciate any tips or recommendations. I have plans to try making a full time living out of this eventually. Thanks again dan....
One thing I've learned is that there's often notching you won't see in Mechanical doubling. When I first started collecting I confused the 2....and learned quickly how rare alot of these DDs are.
Thank you so much for this video explaining the difference between doubling and machined doubling. New to the hobby and that was a big question I had. Maybe you could just show pics of the different types on coins instead of the artistic rendering? Thanks again for the info
U r legit the best. One bit of help that i may add if u would like to use it is. When you show mechanical doubling draw it the size of the original letter that way they can know its not as big as your drawing it
If anyone actually thinks a coin is as big as my drawing then there's no help for them and I give up. lol. This video has been up for years and you're the first to say such a thing and there's thousands of views.
One thing thats discouraging for us newbies is when a coin dealer gives you wrong info. And its not that they are dumb its that they legit didn't know about a certain variety.
Hey Daniel, 1st I have to say I absolutely love ur videos. Ur so informative. I do not listen or watch anyone but u when it comes to coins. I watched ur videos on cleaning coins and I still did not understand everything u were saying. Question I wanted to ask u was can I soak my coins in vinegar to clean them or in water and soap? I look for error coins and sometimes it’s hard to see
Good morning. I am so new to this but I found a 1958 no mint Lincoln (looks to me, in very good condition). Do you know where I could go to ask about double die, etc.?
Is it possible to pay dealers to send off CAC submissions on a customers behalf? I’ve wanted to send in some coins for CAC consideration and would pay a dealer a significant fee to do so for me. I have tried to do it myself but they won’t let me join. Apparently they aren’t accepting new members. 😔
No such think as a china strike error and I can't tell you a value when I don't know the date, mint, denomination or grade. I recommend looking it up at ebay sold auctions.
It only sinks in if one takes the time to "Really" understand whats happening and read Mega, Strike it Rich 2025 Redbook, and don't give up. Believe me, at one time I was ready to give it up. It will sink in. Just be patient and read about the minting process. I had one heck of a time putting together the 1982-PD set, all 7 pieces CuZi and ZiCu minus the elusive 8th issue, a 1982 small date copper Lincoln cent.
Thank you, I've learned more listening 5mins from you than 5hrs from anyone else
Great video...for a long time I didn't really understand what a double die was exactly then it it hit me one day and made sense.....your video is very good at explaining what a double die is truly and what it is not......I don't think I've ever heard it explained this clearly. Thanks.
Thank you
Thank you for the visuals. I'm new to this idea of coin collecting and since in6 a visual learner your videos are most helpful. The use of pointer adds even more interest to keep coming back to your videos. It took me about a month to comprehend the small date large date varieties for the 82's because other videos verbally described the destinction as curve on the 2 or the line going straight down to the base so my mind was visualized the base being the base of the coin, not the base of the 2 and was about to give up and throw the idea of coin collecting out the window. So on behalf of us visuals-thank you very much! I get inspired watching your channel.
I actually never thought about looking for a DD on a buffalo. I was honestly looking for the spear
This is why you are so EXCEPTIONAL at what you learn us. THANK YOU BOYFRIEND ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've been collecting for about 4 years now and found this vid.vary helpful. Once again thank you. 👍
Just bought a 1891 $5 with MD, I love it. Not sure why some people scoff at them, it’s a mint error.
They're too common, that is why.
Been reading up on this subject...never knew how much goes into this process. I love the challenge coin collecting presents.
I did not know the die is created double before it ever strikes the coin! You are so helpful for us in the coin community! Excellent Information Daniel!!! Very pleased to have joined your channel! Looks like I have along way to go still! Love It! Hahahaha V 🎈👍🎈👍👍👍
Thanks a million Daniel. Very informative to say the very least. Now I have a clue as to what to look for. All the best.
Daniel, you are an outstanding teacher! I get so, so much from your teachings that I can't express how thankful I am for you. As a community of coin collectors as a whole we garner information from you that greatly enhances the hobbyist profession. What a huge difference you make to our hobby community. Thank you and thank you again for your willingness to graciously share your knowledge and expertise with us all. May our Lord Jesus Christ show you great mercy and grace for improving the livelihoods of others, myself definitely included.

Thank you!
Amen Brother
I'm glad that you elaborated more about doubled dies, continuing on from your first video about the difference between doubled dies and strike doubling. This help me a lot to visualize how dies are created and doubled.
Great explanation, it truly does help understand the differences between the 2. Having the visual with the dies was very helpfull.
Iv been trying to learn to identify these for a couple weeks and this video has provided the best progress in that effort so far. You got me subscribed. Let me see what else you have posted before I'm start harassing you with questions lol.
Wow. This is extremely helpful and educational and I thank you for sharing it.🙏🏽😊
This is helpful and I'm looking forward to the next video on the different types of doubled dies.
Thank you Daniel.
Congrats on that double die buffalo nickel Daniel!! Thanks for sharing more information on identifying double dies!!
Finding that after watching enough of your videos I’m doing a lot more self correcting. The learning and finding what I think I have to what I actually have is what makes this so much fun even if my results aren’t what I hope they are. Still finding neat coins
OK I have one cent wheat D coin 1958
Thank You, I have struggled in understanding as to me its confusing. Your explanation is wonderful.
Very informative, very helpful. Your a wise man and a huge help to the community
Thank you so much for explaining this in this way! Makes way more sense now!!!
Totally
So are die coins worth buying??
THANK YOU.., you are soo patient with us
Newbies🙃😊🙏
Daniel, I feel like Helen Keller! I think I've got it now! You've spelled it out for me. Thank you so much. I was super confused before but thank you for illustrating how a doubled die happens! ☺️
Thank you for the information, the wife and I have just started getting into coin collecting so this description was extremely helpful.
Please read my comments you could wind up losing money on that.
You talked about looking at the coin from different angles. What I do is look at the image UPSIDE DOWN then if it looks like something I then rotate it slowly. I know that method works but I have not found a double (or hub doubled) yet. Thanks for the information.
Excellent video.....helped unscramble my brain!!👍👍
Thanks Daniel for your time. I'm learning just not quickly enough to satisfy me it seems.
Every time I see something different it's off down the rabbit hole again until understanding is had.
Don't let it confuse you
Good morning Daniel. Don't sweat it. We know what you are explaining. Great video.
Thank you
Thank you Daniel!! ! was looking for an easier way to explain to my friends how those are made!!
just wanted to let you know I love your videos...they are so informative and not silly like so many of them...tyvm
Thank you!
Hi. I like his silly videos.I use magnfiers ...different lighting and recently purchased a coal miners cap.SMILE
A TINY SCRATCH ON A COIN CAN BE DEVASTATING WHEN YOU SEND IT IN FOR GRADING. NO KIDDING. ❤
Hey there. So, I'm fairly new to this and I'm finding it's fun, exciting and a bit challenging. I'm learning a lot from you and your channel. You're a great teacher ... Thank you 😊
Thank you!
Yes I agree, I too have learned plenty from you. Machine doubling is the "Red headed step child of Doubled Die".
Yes Daniel does explain things in a clear, descriptive way so even those (like myself) who have to watch over and over to get it. This patient easy manner detailed, methodical and thorough way of teaching shows his passion for coins whether collecting or searching or for some marketing their finds to make his presentations the best on you tube in my opinion.
I would be remiss not to declare my appreciation for his time and effort to help us learn by giving us these videos.
@CoinHELPu what kind of doubling is this on both size of this coin?
d1htnxwo4o0jhw.cloudfront.net/pcgs/cert/47255785/large/268488525.jpg
One of my go to videos on DD , helps to understand more the differences
Thanks for another good explanation on double die.It really makes a difference in how u look at it.
Thanks, as a fan of Ancients I find these educational videos great to learn about US coins
Thank you so much for drawing! Everyone should watch this! Great information 👍 So many can't tell the difference, this will help so many 🌟
Good one again. You made them easier to understand.
You are the best at explaining. But coins are complicated
Thanks for the lesson, I am new at this and the doubling is ...confusing, but learning🙄😁
I need more info. This was a good video but I think I get it. Thickness is one example. Drawings don't help me much. Still a great video to not end here. Thanks for your expertise, Daniel. It's just me because I'm just getting into errors after collecting for years. Have a great weekend holiday. I do hope you take some time off to enjoy this holiday for our veterans. American Woodland Relics has an awesome video up and we should all watch it. It doesn't take very long.
DEAR DANIEL. THAT BEAUTY OF A BUFFALO LOOKS LIKE IT'S ON IT'S LAST LEG! Could be my eyes..however she's a beautiful coin. THANK YOU ABOUT learning me Die Striation? That's AWESOME. WOW. I gotta lot more to learn
THANK YOU FOR SHARING. Happy Memorial Day! 🐈🐈🐆🐆🐃💕💕💕💕💕
Do you know how many times I watch this video and STILL have trouble. I guess I will blame it on my bad eyes 😂😂😂
Lol um
I've recently looked through at least five thousand coins and I've actually come across one for sure one double die.
Ah I see. Thank you for helping everyone out with this video. Now I definitely have to re re re re recheck my coins. Now I know and understand what I'm looking for and at.
Glad to help
I enjoy your videos and pictures tuff love truth that you teach
Your videos are so educational. Thank u
You're welcome
That Buffalo is such a nice pick! Congrats on that one!
Awesome info Daniel, I can't believe you dont have 50 gazillion subs !!
I am growing, only been at it a year and half. I will get there. Thanks!
Always wondered about that, now I know. Thanks Daniel!!!! Oh and that 55 DD you showed I had as a kid, put it in a gumball machine. Man that was an expensive gumball. Wish I had that one back.
You probably had the well known machine doubled die 1955.
It’s commonly known as the “poor man’s 1955 doubled die”.
The crazy expensive ones were given out as change in cigarette vending machines. A pack of cigs cost $0.23 in 1955. People put in a $0.25 coin and a pack of cigarettes came out with 2 pennys taped to it as change.
The famous 1955 Doubled Die Lincoln Cent was distributed that way.
Blessing ON YOU Dan, thanks for the teaching, now I know what to look for, that great ,keep up good work,
Daniel, you are filling in my ignorance about numismatics faster than I can ever fill album slots!! It is so unfortunate to learn that coins are routinely melted down for profit! George.
Thank you
Daniel,
The first time we talked, I didn't like you very much. You took the wind right out of my sails ... but at the time you were talking to a dumbass 🤣... I was all set to auction my Pirate booty and retire.
It's a good thing you took the wind away, before I sailed into bankruptcy having junk graded ...
Thanks for the honesty, and tolerating my ignorance with grace. You have the best channel for coins, hands down.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks great video. I'm new and this helped greatly.
Thanks.. Im having a hard time identifying double dies, as well as other errors.same with weights.. I have 1943s with different weights
Love your channel. Best by far, honestly. Thank you for letting us all in on the knowledge you’ve accumulated over the years. I have many ‘67,’68 P half dollars with major machine doubling. Does it add any value? Does it reduce value? Typically….. thanks again.
The best info on double dies I have ever seen thanks
Thank you
Very helpful video! Thank you!
Just want to say thanks so much for wisdom!
Thanks Dan I was confused especially with these newer coins they're so shiny that I was taking the the glare that they put around the coin as doubling I'm like everyone's double you did awesome you explain what I'm looking for now I always thought they made the numbers in the letters like you would make it a 3D look on the letters and numbers that's where I was getting confused thanks a lot again Dan I like to hear from you👍
You helped me out so much! Thank you. I went back through my coins and found 4 double die that I didn’t not catch before.
I still have more to learn with this, but this might be the best video I've seen on this. Great job.
Thank you
There is no word in the dictionary for whom you are. Thank you
Thank you Daniel for your teachings and helping those in need of. I've been watching your videos for awhile now but just recently joined. I have a few coins that I could use some help on what do you think of this.
I tried to send you an image of my 2022D uncirculated MS DD Obverse and Reverse Nina Otero-Warren in email I think. I need Guidance PLEASE
I’ve watched this one umpteen times Lol. I may get the hang of it eventually 😊 Thank you
Thanks for another perspective on true doubling...between mis-information and stigma of a sort,it's hard for beginners to understand the mechanics and also different types/classes of ddo varieties. Even mechanically inclined individuals like myself should have all the facts:)-R.R.
Thanx for the great video and congradulations on Awesome double die indian head😲❣️👍
Thank you!
I had to put half of my keepers back into the spending bag after watchinh about 5 of ur videos.im glad ur out here so i dont sound like a idiot i was very misinformed..preciate the help buddy have a good one!!
Great video - very informative! Great find on that Buffalo! I will be at FUN so I'll have to watch for it! Just a thought but my main issue is trying to decide if a DD is evident on older more worn coins. Devices can spread with wear over time and it makes it much more difficult to decide on. A video on that would be AWESOME!
Worn doubled dies can be a bit tricky but not the more obvious doubled dies.
I have learned so much today, thank you kindly.
You're welcome
BOYFRIEND
I am HAPPY you are drawing again! Tough beans....ypu are my favorite friend. It's that's a bad thing.... ( I care about you learning me). Sometime I think I may have my coins aced...then...oh lord...you help KEEP me in check.❤THANK GOSH you are drawing again my Picasso ❤×inifity
Thank you . I learn alot from your videos
Thank you for a detailed explanation. Can you make a video explaining the mint process. We can better understand what errors are created at the mint and post.
You're welcome
I’m looking at a bunch of 1970 quarters for DDO and DDR I’m new to looking this closely . I have a pile of quarters some I think I can determine are dye deterioration but some of the reverse I can’t tell ?🤷♂️🤯
Absolutely Love your videos
Thank you.
Still trying to figure out on that 1955 Lincoln cent how the doubling happens on the date and Liberty but not the face or torso! Great explaining on the dies thought!
Wexlers doubledie.com tells you all that if you go there and read his guides.
Daniel, I have a 1969 "S" Mint Mark Penny; It looks like a Doubled Die on the Obverse. I'm trying to decide whether to send it off for grading or not; If you had one, and you thought it was a Doubled Die, which Grading Company would you send it to? Any information from you would be very helpful. Thank You.
That was well understandable, good video
Daniel,are you saying when they engraved the die they doubled the image,and if so how and why they did not notice it and repair or replace?
They didn't engrave the die doubled, never said that in the video.
Daniel,I wasn’t insinuating you said thatI was I just asking a question
Hi,Daniel I want to know what is V.D.B stand for underneath below the arm of Abraham Lincoln penny?
Victor David Brenner the designer initials.
Dan, I am looking forward to your next video on this subject ‘cause it does get confusing.
My vision suffers and I have yet to find a good way to photograph my coins. My iPhone X would work if I could find a better way to stabilize it when taking pictures of the coins. How do you get such close-up and clear images for use on your RUclips videos? Do you really use only your phone camera?
No, I use a Canon Rebel with a macro lens but I did make a video on taking coin images with your phone.
I am new so all I have is a Carson minibrite 3x led lighted magnifier. It has a slide up lens with a light. I can hold my phone over the lens and it actually works pretty well. Just a thought for a little extra zoom. Like I said though, very new at this.
thank you for this information it is great!
Thanks there's definitely a confusion on what's a double .I have trouble need to go through some looking again 😕
I have an entire playlist dedicated to explaining and showing doubled dies.
Thank you for the video and information. There are some things with DD's that can make them really tough to id even if you do have a better than average understanding of their mechanics and the classes. Im holding a 2007P Wyoming quarter DDR-001, and to me, if I hadnt known what to look for, would have said it was machine doubling. To me it looks as flat and shelf like as a any md ive ever seen. Without the green light from Wexler, idk how anyone would think it was anything else. Not sure what im not seeing. Or a Jefferson 2013P WDDR-004 or 5 or 7, without attribution how do you start to determine its a dd and not a clash mark or die damage? I dont wanna waste Wexlers time on something thats not checked out after doing all i can possibly do on my own. Or as you again touched on, some of those minor or even major lincoln dd's and others but with the addition of die wear, circulation and plating issues. How do you tell whats worth digging into deeper especially if not attributed when it appears to you to display often weak and less common or obvious dd properties that can at times be very similar to other causes. Someone's gotta find it first... Those are questions im having a tough time on and others have to be also id assume....i have a years worth of anomalies i cant nail down 100% on my self taught, at times picture only numismatic die variant education...and i have spent way too many hours more than an adult should trying to learn all this stuff..some things i know ill only nail down after discussing them and asking questions of a master in these categories......i wish there was a checklist....lol.... once again, im sorry this is this long but i hope you can understand where im at and what saying. No one expects you to have all the answers or to be responsible for doing anything but if there are any lesser known points of info you think might help, id love to know. Or i might just be a little slow and im missing a neon sign in front of my face....lol.....thank you!!!!!!
The best I can do is these videos otherwise you must match it with a known variety die markers and the images of known varieties. Even if it is a new it must still be a doubled die. You're paying people like Wexler so you're not wasting their time you're paying for their time.
CoinHELPu Yea, but ive heard that Wexler is not doing well, im not the kind of guy that wont do all i can FIRST, and besides, the whole point is that I wanna know how to tell this stuff apart myself! Wat good am i if im not working toward answering other peoples questions, accurately...Do I not have a valid point about those dd's i listed and at the desire to understand them and other errors at a higher level? Look, your busy, maybe your not the guy to be asking all this to and im again NOT trying to piss u off or argue with you or back you into a corner..i love this hobby....its my fun!!! .But im trying to be active in this field, learn and listen from those that know more than i do, to be accurate and helpful instead of unsure and useless.....i know your busy and not lookin for a deep discussion but if im missing something and am approaching this all wrong, please tell me....i just feel like your gettin me all wrong...hell, i offered to buy you a beer!!!! Hahaha
@@jimsullivan3481 no, not taking you wrong at all. I was the way you were at first and I just kept reading the books. I read the Cherry Pickers guides, Strike It Rich With Pocket Change, and Official Guide to Mint Error Values by Herbert, then when sites started popping up I read them like Wexlers. I am always learning. I think you might be taking me wrong. People want my help then tell me I am wrong and don't know what I am saying and that it must be a new error type since they couldn't find it.
I started these videos to help answer all these questions. You have to take time and learn, picking everyone's brain isn't going to get you to a higher level because guys like me share their brain in video and written word. People who know share and it is there to learn, but you must be patient with yourself.
CoinHELPu Cool, im glad that we're all good. This hobby is my passion and im in no way trying to make enemies over something trivial or a misunderstanding. A lot can get taken wrong comunicating this way. I think ive said before, ive collected coins all my life, but have only really focused deeply on varieties and all the little details of the minting process the last year or so. And have only worked the forums the last 6 months. It can be frustrating though. I do not care about finding a retirement coin, though im not against it. I dont have a fantasy that my coin is a new discovery, though that would be cool. And im not one to dismiss the opinion of those I ask help or input from. But as you said, we're always learning and no one knows everything. I very well may be just where you were at then. Like a wall now i think and am struggling with certain points that arent clear to me and i cant find answers to. So anyways, i dont want to and would NEVER intentionally try to disrespect you or hijack your site with multiple types of posts you didnt intended for it but those are what i have built up at the moment. Also dont have any desire to argue with or disrespect you or anyone, or expect you personally to study and solve every case i put up. I just want to understand, discuss, share and learn more. And if theres anything that helped you that you think would help me, id appreciate any tips or recommendations. I have plans to try making a full time living out of this eventually. Thanks again dan....
@@jimsullivan3481 Reading the books I recommended is crucial. Reading Wexlers site is as well.
One thing I've learned is that there's often notching you won't see in Mechanical doubling. When I first started collecting I confused the 2....and learned quickly how rare alot of these DDs are.
Thank you so much for this video explaining the difference between doubling and machined doubling. New to the hobby and that was a big question I had. Maybe you could just show pics of the different types on coins instead of the artistic rendering? Thanks again for the info
U r legit the best. One bit of help that i may add if u would like to use it is. When you show mechanical doubling draw it the size of the original letter that way they can know its not as big as your drawing it
If anyone actually thinks a coin is as big as my drawing then there's no help for them and I give up. lol. This video has been up for years and you're the first to say such a thing and there's thousands of views.
Basically the way i learned is. If you have to ask if its doubled it most likely is not lol
But you are definitely awesome. Appreciate you and your brutal honesty.
One thing thats discouraging for us newbies is when a coin dealer gives you wrong info. And its not that they are dumb its that they legit didn't know about a certain variety.
Just have to know that most dealers don't specialize in this stuff, they're general practitioners.
Hey Daniel, 1st I have to say I absolutely love ur videos. Ur so informative. I do not listen or watch anyone but u when it comes to coins. I watched ur videos on cleaning coins and I still did not understand everything u were saying. Question I wanted to ask u was can I soak my coins in vinegar to clean them or in water and soap? I look for error coins and sometimes it’s hard to see
Thanks but I don't recommend cleaning your coins any other way then in my video.
Good morning. I am so new to this but I found a 1958 no mint Lincoln (looks to me, in very good condition). Do you know where I could go to ask about double die, etc.?
Would love a video on scope settings, light, resolution and tricks of the hobby in viewing coins
I don't have any settings or tricks. You go by the scope's user manual.
That 1972-P is the coppercoins DDO-001.
Well...they were HONEST. A Indian penny. AWESOME CHRISTIAN. HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY
YOUR SO MELLOW. GOTTA LOVE IT.💕💕💕🐈🐈🐆🐆🐃🍀
Is it possible to pay dealers to send off CAC submissions on a customers behalf?
I’ve wanted to send in some coins for CAC consideration and would pay a dealer a significant fee to do so for me.
I have tried to do it myself but they won’t let me join. Apparently they aren’t accepting new members. 😔
Thank you for the ℹ️ on double die coin.I have question for you what’s a 50%off center with chain strike edge mint error.......help me please
No such think as a china strike error and I can't tell you a value when I don't know the date, mint, denomination or grade. I recommend looking it up at ebay sold auctions.
Thanks for the lesson😀
I have a double strike penny I would like your thoughts on please let me know how to get u pics of the penny
This Double strike also a valuable or collectible?
What did your buffalo go for at the FUN show? Beautiful coin. You should be proud.
$4,200 Thanks
Thank you. Where did you go to find the buffalo? was it a coin dealer?
It only sinks in if one takes the time to "Really" understand whats happening and read Mega, Strike it Rich 2025 Redbook, and don't give up. Believe me, at one time I was ready to give it up. It will sink in. Just be patient and read about the minting process. I had one heck of a time putting together the 1982-PD set, all 7 pieces CuZi and ZiCu minus the elusive 8th issue, a 1982 small date copper Lincoln cent.
Interesting , well explained
Woow this was a big help
Great info!!! Thanks!
