    Looks like two m's in unum. Side by side, barely overlapping. Pareidolia stikes again.

    No its not pareidolia it's an accident from someone whose learning as I go. Wow I used the incorrect term... that's why I seek knowledge from the pros and expert's not cyber bullies who judge before getting to know someone...

    We can't totally vert without more evidence.
    Do you have a gram scale?

    Show it sticking to a magnet. Some Cents that are plated with certain metals can become slightly ferromagnetic.

    The doubling could be the effect of the post mint plating.

    IMHO

    please sir, you took that wrong. It does have a super pareidolia effect. That is what I am saying. Whether you thought that or not, I saw it. No offense intended.

    I plan to do so. I have no reason to lie to you or anyone for any reason at all. I plan to gain respect from everyone for cherishing such a unique specimen for almost 9 decades... I created another thread with the weight...

    There was no post mint plating, please don't criticize me for not being a vet but I wouldn't waste my time or yours wit such a fluke if this was. I work very hard to determine the type of coins I have, as I'm sure you do as well. I know it's legit, and will show it's magnetic at a later time. I have other business to tend to right now, but trust me I know its a COINcedence, one that is well deserved by me!

    I apologize as well ma'am Ivery been criticized on sites before when all I wanted was to make friends and everyone turned against me and called me trolls, when all I'm want to do is become a better collector. I'm not perfect I will make mistakes, but learning will help me prevent them in the future. Once again I'm sorry, and accept your apology as well...

    Hello,
    there a small handful of 1944 cents struck on steel planchets,Id say a few dozen.The doubling isnt a big deal,but its a pretty popular error,a kissing cousin of the mega popular 1943 copper cent.Depending on grade,it's easily worth 10k,possibly double that,if genuine.

    I've seen it go for more and I'm no pro but in a lesser grade than mines. I know I haven't sent it off for verification but I can tell.

    Mercury was quite readily available back in the 40's and 50's. We called it "quick silver" and we didn't know how poisonous it was.
