1936 cent with 2 errors. Are they related to each other?

There is an apparent lamination error in Lincoln's jacket that almost seems to point at the R in Liberty.

Actually it could be DDO-011 and a die marker, can you try to get more pictures. http://www.varietyvista.com/01a LC Doubled Dies Vol 1/1936PDDO011.htm

 

The R looks to be a fill and you got a lamination on the jacket.

 

What kind of fill? Grease perhaps? I have 2 of these w/o the "left leg". I call it the "peg leg".

 

Yes, I inadvertently omitted that word. Thanks for filling it in.

 

Potty dollar you nailed it. I'm impressed. Here a few more pics. If you want more detail of a given area let me know. I also noticed that 1936 DDO-002 and 1936 DDO-003 have odd R's in liberty.

 

It be looks like the missing part of the R in LIBERTY was scrapped off. It’s very faint but it is there and given the wear it’s hidden a bit more.

 

It is not any doubled die, it is likely to be die deterioration doubling as common. This overuse might also have filled the R leg also. IMO, Jim

 

I never speculated on any sort of doubling. The R is a mint error as shown in the link posted by potty dollar 1878.

 

The R in liberty was NOT scraped off as you have speculated. The R is a mint error as shown in the link posted by potty dollar 1878 above.

With all due respect, I find the broken "R" to be a dubious die marker. On a die the coin design is represented by the void left in the die. It is really nothing more than a hole in a metal rod - it has no mass and occupies no space. Therefore the "R" is nothing and if it is nothing then it can't be broken. I hope all of this makes sense.

Now to qualify my above statement. The broken "R" exhibited on this coin could originate from the working Hub. On a hub the coin design is represented by the metal remaining on the Hub. It has mass and occupies space and can be broken or polished away. If absent from the Hub the design feature will not be transferred to the die.

DDO-011 is a doubled die - therefore the broken "R" Working Hub was squeezed twice into the die. Which indicates many more broken "R" working dies should have been created making the broken "R" a common characteristic of 1936 Lincoln Cents. Is the Broken "R" common in 1936?

 

How the R came to be, and if it is common or not, is unknown to me. "Broken" is the term that Wiles uses for this variety on the Variety Vista website. My point was that the "broken R" was created at the mint and not the result of PMD.

 

Wow I would of thought nothing about this coin being an error. Just looked old and dirty to me.

 

Do you see the faint part of the R in this picture? That void area on the die was filled in with grease.

 

Maybe you'll get lucky and find one one day, then you'll be as famous as he is.

 

Here's a 1936 broken R I own
