I have a 1979 Yugoslavia, Jugoslavia, 10 Dinara coin in VG condition, which has been double stamped on "29.XI.1943" which is located below the flame. would this increase its value and what would that value be.
As requested here are the images of the coin, unfortunately unless you can magnify the date under the flame on the first image, you will not be able to see the double stamp
I'm sorry, this is just a regular 1979. 10 dinara coin. The date on the emblem marks the foundation of communist Yugoslavia and is part of the emblem. You can find the coin here: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces839.html
I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.
Thank you for your reply, there is a definite stamp of this date with a part mirror image protruding from the top of this second top stamp image which I have noticed is not distinguishable on the example on Numistas web-page. This double image can be be clearly viewed under a magnifying glass but hard to show from a photographic image without specialised equipment.
Indeed, we can't tell from blurry pictures, but try to use your magnifier with your camera. If you set it up the right way, plus optimal light, you'll be able to get a reasonably clear picture. I have done it myself for closeups with my iPad.

Getting back to my original question does this coin have any value and if so what would it be worth to sell.

Hi Reg,
I'm also in that age bracket, but that's not a hindrance.... for me
In my opinion the price is not higher, than for the standard coin. Personally I don't buy such coins, but when I find one I keep it in my collection, of course! I have maybe 50 of 10 denar coins, and one day I might have a look to see, if I also have "doubled" one. You know Yugoslavian coins of all dates are extremely common.
This is a neat double strike, but I agree it's probably worth little, yet I would say it's worth a small premium for collectors of such things (see Mint Error News). They might pay £2 or £3 for this may be? There is usually no pricing for such items, so it's between the seller and the buyer. On eBay you'll see wide ranges of prices, with the most ignorant sellers thinking they'll sell such things for £100...
Also, it depends on the denomination. Millions were struck of the lower denominations and you expect they'let the machines run until they see there's a problem. If you were to find the same doubling on a large coin such as a Canadian nickel (or better silver) dollar, to take an example I know better, you would be able to sell it for quite a lot more ─ £50 wouldn't surprise me.
Thank you all for your replies and for help both with the website and information supplied, it seems I will not be an overnight millionaire but will try my luck on e-bay hoping for a couple of rival bidders. I will definitely use this site again if I come across any other interesting coins.
Hello,
There are two very obvious double die errors on 10 Dinara 1979. Double die error is quite common in the issue but most pronounced on this coin. The mintage of 10 Dinara 1979 is the lowest in the series and coin has a catalog value of 4€ in UNC. Coin with this error does not carry any premium.
Cita: "higgi12"Thank you for your post and enquiry, I have put the coin on e-bay item no 274038359964, if you are interested to purchase.
Regards Reg
