    it would help having a better picture, from that all I see is some blur around the 9's

    Looks like it could be a plating issue. Yes to better pictures!

    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    I'd say plating issues, too.

    I think I've seen clearer pictures of the Loch Ness Monster.

    I would say it's most certainly one of the two, and is a rather common issue on cents of that general era.


    OP,

    I do realize that imaging such detail on coins isn't an easy thing to do, but hear me out. Before posting a photo, forget the fact you've viewed the coin with your own eyes, and focus only on the image you have. Now ask yourself if you could not only see, but possible identify whatever you would be asking to board to. If your answer to either is no, then it's a pretty safe bet that no one here will be able to as well. Just something to, perhaps, keep in mind for the next time. The better your photos, the better your chances are to draw attention to your question, as well as increase the likelihood of receiving quality and educated responses.

    Here are two more links that may be helpful to you. The first simply expands upon the one Ken posted, and shows other forms of "worthless" or non-collectible doubling. The second is to Mr. Wexler's online (yet incomplete) doubled die listings. Perhaps it would be beneficial to spend some time closely examining photos of genuine varieties of the coins you most often search; doing so may help to train your eye.. Good luck.

    The doubling stands out, it's not indented. You can see the inner edge of the double.

    Just found doubling on the back too. I don't know what to say about the k.
