One thing to remember, not all doubling is from a doubled die. There is also mechanical doubling, when the die shifts slightly during striking, and die deterioration doubling from worn out dies. Neither of those is collectable nor adds any premium.

Sooo, what do we have here? I know 64 is a known double die collectible variety. Is this the one we should be looking for Or mechanical double die-d? I'd collect it anyway.

The images provided are not of any doubled die variety I have seen for that year. I do see some minor evidence of mechanical doubling, which occurs when die or planchette shifts slightly during stamping. I also see a banged up, well circulated, Lincoln cent.

I suggest you obtain a few guidebooks on errors, and also learn everything you can concerning the manufacturing of coins. If you are serious about coins, these two pieces of advice are essential.

Time for more coffee.

There are a few good websites that can show you what you need to know. Sorry, but not a "doubled" die.

In 1964 the REVERSE of the coin was best known for this effect.
