Tell your friend the answer is no.

 

What's with the date - specifically, between the 1 & 9??? Not a die break, looks like a "ghost" 9. Could be the image/shadowing and/or MD or DD perhaps?

 

No, just a worn die

 

Ok how about this

 

IDK

 

Or this

 

That's the results on plated zinc cents when you have die deterioration.. That's all.

 

Not a doubled die.

 

What @paddyman98 said.

 

Our fellow enthusiasts covered this one. Maybe next time.

 

Die deterioration? Someone should be held accountable. Release the hounds!

 

The person or persons who made the decision to switch from Copper Planchets over to Copper plated zinc planchets.. Thats who! Because of them we have thousands of poor souls misidentifiing doubling and thousands of unnecessary threads on the subject.
