Is It Doubled Die Or Strike Doubling? How To ID Doubled Dies Versus MD 

Thank you, I've learned more listening 5mins from you than 5hrs from anyone else

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. 👍

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.

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.

Been reading up on this subject...never knew how much goes into this process. I love the challenge coin collecting presents.

This is helpful and I'm looking forward to the next video on the different types of doubled dies. Thank you Daniel.

Very informative, very helpful. Your a wise man and a huge help to the community

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 🎈👍🎈👍👍👍

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.

Congrats on that double die buffalo nickel Daniel!! Thanks for sharing more information on identifying double dies!!

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.

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.

Wow. This is extremely helpful and educational and I thank you for sharing it.🙏🏽😊

Great explanation, it truly does help understand the differences between the 2. Having the visual with the dies was very helpfull.

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.

One of my go to videos on DD , helps to understand more the differences

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 so much for drawing! Everyone should watch this! Great information 👍 So many can't tell the difference, this will help so many 🌟

Thank you so much for explaining this in this way! Makes way more sense now!!!

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.

Just bought a 1891 $5 with MD, I love it. Not sure why some people scoff at them, it’s a mint error.

Thank you Daniel!! ! was looking for an easier way to explain to my friends how those are made!!

Thanks, as a fan of Ancients I find these educational videos great to learn about US coins

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

Thanks for another good explanation on double die.It really makes a difference in how u look at it.

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.

THANK YOU.., you are soo patient with us Newbies🙃😊🙏

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

Thank You, I have struggled in understanding as to me its confusing. Your explanation is wonderful.

Blessing ON YOU Dan, thanks for the teaching, now I know what to look for, that great ,keep up good work,

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.

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 for the lesson, I am new at this and the doubling is ...confusing, but learning🙄😁

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 are the best at explaining. But coins are complicated

just wanted to let you know I love your videos...they are so informative and not silly like so many of them...tyvm

Do you know how many times I watch this video and STILL have trouble. I guess I will blame it on my bad eyes 😂😂😂

That Buffalo is such a nice pick! Congrats on that one!

Good one again. You made them easier to understand.

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.

Good morning Daniel. Don't sweat it. We know what you are explaining. Great video.

Excellent video.....helped unscramble my brain!!👍👍

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!

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! 🐈🐈🐆🐆🐃💕💕💕💕💕

I've recently looked through at least five thousand coins and I've actually come across one for sure one double die.

Thank you . I learn alot from your videos

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 😊

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

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.

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.

Very helpful video! Thank you!

Thanks.. Im having a hard time identifying double dies, as well as other errors.same with weights.. I have 1943s with different weights

The best info on double dies I have ever seen thanks

I enjoy your videos and pictures tuff love truth that you teach

I have learned so much today, thank you kindly.

I’ve watched this one umpteen times Lol. I may get the hang of it eventually 😊 Thank you

There is no word in the dictionary for whom you are. Thank you

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👍

Your videos are so educational. Thank u

Thanks for the lesson😀

Thanks great video. I'm new and this helped greatly.

Good info, thanks for sharing

thank you for this information it is great!

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

Just want to say thanks so much for wisdom!

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!

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.

Great info.. thanks

Interesting , well explained

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

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.

Thanks very helpful for me

Awesome info Daniel, I can't believe you dont have 50 gazillion subs !!

Nice job on that buffalo! You the man

Great video thanks

That was well understandable, good video

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 ?🤷‍♂️🤯

GREAT INFO. THANKS.

Awesome video.

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 RU-vid videos? Do you really use only your phone camera?

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.

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

Woow this was a big help

Thank you Daniel

Tripled face 1944, its hard to describe I have not found nothing like it , I thank you so kindly

Those late die stages appear on many Jefferson nickels and Roosevelt dimes from the 60s, 70s, and 80s!

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

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

That 1972-P is the coppercoins DDO-001.

Thanks Daniel for the Video. When it comes to older Lincoln Cents, if the penny is warn down is there still doubling observed or are they not easily identified due to the condition?

I learned so much from this video. Thanks a million. My one question is that I see simple machine doubling coins sometimes selling at hefty prices. I this only wishful thinking on the seller ? Some of these coins command a premium. Thanks.

Thanks! Been looking for wrong thing ...lol

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!!!!!!

What did your buffalo go for at the FUN show? Beautiful coin. You should be proud.

I have a double strike penny I would like your thoughts on please let me know how to get u pics of the penny

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. 😔

Well...they were HONEST. A Indian penny. AWESOME CHRISTIAN. HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY YOUR SO MELLOW. GOTTA LOVE IT.💕💕💕🐈🐈🐆🐆🐃🍀

I have many coins with double on them, but I think they are machine double, are they worth anything in monetary value, also have many coins with diebrake s there any value on them, and how much.
