1995 Doubled Die Penny

1995 年雙倍骰子硬幣

The doubling is most evident in the word "LIBERTY," particularly in the letter "B," though it isn't as pronounced as it is on the 1972 Doubled Die coins. There is also some light doubling in the date. “These are one of the easiest valuable pennies to find,” coin expert James Bucki told CNBC. “I’ve found one myself.”

翻倍在“LIBERTY”一詞中最為明顯，尤其是在字母“B”中，儘管它不像 1972 年 Doubled Die 硬幣上那樣明顯。日期也有一些輕微的重疊。 「這些是最容易找到的有價值的便士之一，」硬幣專家詹姆斯·巴基 (James Bucki) 告訴 CNBC。 “我自己已經找到一個了。”

When first discovered, raw examples of the coins were selling for up to $300 each. However, as more examples were found over time, the prices for each coin dropped to as low as $20 or less.

當這些硬幣首次被發現時，每枚原始硬幣的售價高達 300 美元。然而，隨著時間的推移，發現了更多的例子，每枚硬幣的價格降至 20 美元或更低。

1969-S Doubled Die Penny

1969 年 S 版雙模便士

Doubled dies occur when an extra image is imparted on a die, also known as a stamp, from the hub striking it twice. Bucki told CNBC that errors in the minting process are what causes the doubling.

當從輪轂敲擊模具兩次而在模具（也稱為印章）上賦予額外圖像時，就會出現雙模具。 Bucki 告訴 CNBC，鑄幣過程中的錯誤是導致翻倍的原因。

According to him, a 1969-S Doubled Die Obverse has the most doubling in the words "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST" on the coin's obverse. A coin's正面, which usually features a portrait, is referred to as the "heads" side by collectors. Also, note the letter "S" directly below the year 1969, indicating that this coin was minted at the San Francisco Mint.

據他介紹，1969 年 S 版雙模正面的「LIBERTY」（自由）和「IN GOD WE TRUST」（我們相信上帝）字樣的重疊次數最多。硬幣的正面通常有肖像，被收藏家稱為“正面”。另外，請注意 1969 年正下方的字母“S”，表明這枚硬幣是在舊金山造幣廠鑄造的。
