    Need some help on this one. The 2 in date looks doubled but not sure. What do you guys think? IMG_20180917_145918704_HDR.jpg IMG_20180917_145939249_HDR.jpg IMG_20180917_145230058_HDR.jpg IMG_20180917_144026175_HDR.jpg IMG_20180917_144838661_HDR.jpg

    Thanks @furryfrog02 I thought this was it. Looks like it added something to 2. I'll keep looking!

    I think @Rick Stachowski can give a better explanation than I could of the type of doubling you will find on shield cents.

    I'm inclined to think not. Doubling on the Shield cents is different from the past and most times appears as extra thickness to letters and numerals and notching that appears as a slashed letter or numeral. And sometimes, as on the 2014 P, twisted, misshapen numerals.

    Thanks @tommyc03 . I was just reading up on that and looking at the shield DDO list and pics. It does appear that they do not have the typical doubling that I'm used to looking at. I'm sure this has to do with the current minting process which I'm not familiar with at all. Will have to read up on that next. Any good sites to look at that you know of for this? Thanks again!

    I take that back the WDDO-006 2015 cent does show the typical doubling if I can call it such. 85578169eff67fe1ffff870bffffe417.JPG

    My best source is www.doubleddie.com, John Wexler's site which has tons of info on all aspects of the Mint's process's. The difference these days is the single squeeze hubbing as opposed to the older double squeeze hubbing. It's caused a lot of consternation amongst the elders of error collecting and can be excruciatingly difficult to see on new B.U. coins. One of the 2014 P doubled dies is extremely difficult to find and goes for quite a bit of money. Many here poo poo these new errors but they can be valuable once the right ones are found. I just found the 2015 P doubled reverse initials on the cent. This is a tough one to find, but I got mine in pocket change last week.

    Yes, some still show the separations but many do not. Takes a good loupe to catch many of these.
