Double Die

A double die error coin can be very hard to see with the naked eye. These coins show some doubling on the details. It is most often seen on the lettering or numbering found on the fronts and backs of coins.

These error are caused by defective dies. The coins are not struck twice. The actual die itself has some doubling that is then transferred onto the surface of the coin. Some double die coins are very valuable and can fetch top dollar at auctions.

The image below is a great example of a coin with a double die error. These errors are usually much more subtle and hard to see.
