    Normally when sorting through my endless amount of pennies that have been saved for a year or so, when i see a 2018 or, honestly, pretty much all sheild pennies, i put them immediately aside in their own bag and move on to finding the older ones. This one just happened to catch my eye though. Above the "O" in "ONE" and the bottom far right of the sheild below the banner. It looks
    almost like the image started shifted just the tiniest bit. The O looks maybe doubled too but its not a really sharp line so i didnt know if doubled dyes ever look like that. I do know that its hard to caption with a camera phone but on the "E" in America can be seen in this with 2 tiny sharp corners rather then the just one. Its not the only letter up there either but it took forever getting the lighting and camera magnifier just perfect. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Obviously im still a bit new at everything but the support and feedback i receive on this forum has been great! Not at all belittling and has never made me feel judged for asking questions that might even sound stupid when i type them out. It all just really helps me learn more ☺

    Coins are struck with a Die.. Not a Dye

    In my honest opinion.. Looks to be a worn die issue. That would cause doubling.

    Just want to help a bit :wideyed:
    Peace ;)
