    1964 D error coin - anything unusual?

    Hi everyone! This is my first post; thanks to everyone in advance for sharing your experience and expertise. I'm hoping someone can help me with a 1964 D error penny. I don't know the correct terminology to accurately describe it, but I'll try: the back is unremarkable. The planchette is not a uniform thickness and the entire front is rather concave. The texture on the front is rough where a double strike of the press obviously occurred. The secondary image is of the backside, but it is offset and in reverse. Hopefully the pictures will clarify my description.

    I've seen lots of examples of common errors, and while I haven't found any quite like this, I'm guessing it's not too uncommon? I appreciate any information you can provide!

      Hello and welcome to the LCF. Thank you for the description and the photos. That helps us tremendously. As for your coin, you have something that we see a lot around here, and we've dubbed it adhesion doubling. Basically there was some type of substance, e.g., glue, etc., that was between two cents. The one cent was pulled away, leaving behind the adhesive substance and thus the "image" of the other coin. We've seen these so often that there is even a glossary entry.

      Adhesive Doubling: A coin that has glue or a similar substance on it that will retain a mirror-image design of another coin that is pressed into the glue. This term was coined by Jason Cuvelier. (Image donated by Rollem.)

          That's either a "garage job" where someone used some type of putty to fake a secondary image or it acquired the "goo" in circulation was pressed against another coin by chance. It's not an error.

                  Welcome to the forum!
                  I agree adhesive doubling (damage).
                  How many examples of this have popped up lately? It seems like a lot...

                      They seemed to increase dramatically when auto makers started putting cup holders in cars!

                          The adhesive doubling answer makes perfect "cents" - thanks to you and the others that replied!
