D. This 1964 penny appears to be double stamped on one side and not on the other. Thank you for your time.
Asked on Jan 1, 2022
It's nothing if not creative. It's probably a coin with one side worn off that had a second one pounded into it. Doubling leads to two images of the same side, not opposite sides coinciding. Look closely: is the memorial the same as on other cents, or inverted horizontally? Are the raised features the same as on other cents, or opposite (i.e., if a column is raised on a regular cent, is it raised on yours or a depression?). An inversion would suggest the banging of two coins together; a coin struck with a proper die will not be reversed.

Most inquiries we get are about circulated coins made after 1971, and/or coins where people mistake post-mint damage and wear for "errors". You can expect us to affirm these are face value.
