OK guys.... Yes or no? This one looks completely different than any of the others I have found. The coin is in less than desirable condition , just wondering if this is a doubled die on the I B and E of the word Liberty?
This is a classic case of Die Deterioration Doubling.. It's a plating issue common on Copper Plated Zinc Cents
Yes.. That's the first thing that caught my eye. Thats a worn Die strike issue. Nothing to do with Hub Doubling. Sorry.
I agree with @paddyman98 . The date also shows the common 'outline' around the 9 and 8 from DDD. I think if you had a picture of the coin straight on, it would show that the 'I' is actually a die deterioration issue. From the angle shot you have, it does look like 2 I's there. But, I think this is just a result of the angle and may actually be from the 'B', like you can see on the 'E'. Keep searching and posting!
Hi Sarah, I just noticed your post. I hope this gives you a little more on your questions. I recommend this little book, it gives someone so much info on allkinds of error coins. Good luck coin hunting, and I have to say, you have amazing eyes. Go to this (cherrypickers pocket guide top 150) It explains all about error coins.
Sarah2624 I saw where a guy won 3 million cents on youtube. Maybe you could work out a deal with him. Ha! Just kidding of course. Good Luck searching.
Nice! It's a step up from the cents I have now and from the sense I seem to no longer have since getting sucked into this little hobby. Ha! Didn't even mean to do that.....cents, sense, since. Words are so clever
Sarah Try to take the picture from directly above and then crop and post.I could use some caffeine. Just went through 15 rolls found a 1969 S sadly not the money one,1970 S 'Large Date' Hope this will help. McCann
