Hello,
I'm Daniel from Germany, ECIE: dani200105, ebay: laboraffe03.

I'd like to open this thread for foreign doubled dies and i'd like to invite you to post your pix

I'd like to start with three outstanding Euro doubled dies:

1 Euro 2002 G


2 Cent 2003 F


5 Cent 2002 D


Thanks,
Daniel Schneider

Welcome to the forum, Daniel. I've enjoyed your posts in the Error Coin Information Exchange, and I'm sure the members of this forum will enjoy them just as much.

Daniel - I thank you for posting those pictures. They are excellent doubled dies. Do you have any idea to what type hubbing ssytem was used for these anomalies? It would be interesting to know if these were a product of the single squeeeze type hubbing system or if they were produced by multiple hubbing.

Thank you and welcome to this forum!!!!

i'm not quite sure BJ but i think for the Euros they use the single squeeeze hubbing system.

I'd be shocked if this amount of separation was produced by the single-squeeze method. Of course, we see dramatic separation in some of the Minnesota doubled dies. But these involve very localized doubling, not wholesale doubling as seen on these Euros and fractional Euros.

1931 Argentina 5 Centavos - DDO

Unfortunately, the coin is a clunker but the doubling is easy to spot.

For lack of US coins to search, I finally got around to searching my foreign coin collection that I've had for a few decades. I made a nice DDO find on a German 1914 J 1 Mark coin. The extremely fine detail on this one makes for a great doubled die. There are more notches and separation lines than on just about any DD I've seen. About two-thirds of the coin shows nice doubling -- and the rest is nearly normal.






Look at those double claws!

I picked up a couple more old German doubled dies. The first is a 1939D 10 ReichsPfennig and the second is a 1939D 1 reichsPfennig.

Ken - as per usual, some great pictures of excellent varieties. Well done.
