coin_interest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 The 1990 dbldie rev shows some very prominent doubling...is that doubling?? I did make a first real find (a 1998 Wide AM)!!!!! I am hooked for sure I found a Gold "colored" penny and I can't find much info. Has anyone come across these. Is it a foreign mistrike? I tried to get a photo in and I hope it works OK.

LostDutchman Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Some cents have been discovered that have been plated with brass... these are pretty common and can cause a gold coloring. They usually appear on early to mid 90's cents. I don't beleive that is a double die... look more like mechanical doubling.... as for the 1998 wide am cent...very cool find. I found one of those in circ one time as well. I remember when they first came out working with Charles Daughtery (http://www.coppercoins.com) to identify all the die pairs on the wide AM's including the 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
