Double die or machine doubling ?

It's been a while. Been through my cents (10kg) a few times
and found this one.
Would appreciate to receive your comments.

Perhaps a re-plating issue?

 

Thanks Kentucky , you're the first to comment. I don't know what "re-plating" is though.

 

Sorry, 1943 cents were steel plated with zinc and the zinc got dull, wore quickly and let the steel rust. This made the coins look baaaaaaaaaaad, so some people came up with the idea of re-plating these coins with zinc. That made them look nice, but softened out a lot of the features the way putting on a coat of paint does. I just thought that the look of your coin might be a plating issue. Others will comment, I'm sure. Happy collecting

Not a Doubled Die

 

Talking about "dull"

 

How many times have we seen this in a 1943 Wheat ? ☺ALT1

 

wow, member since 2012, and this is your 52nd post!

welcome back

 

Bless you. Retired and ended up in a depression...

 

Yup, this is the state they are generally found in, probably one of the reasons someone started re-plating them.

 

Oh, no, don't do that. Enjoy!!!

 

It strikes you ...

 

Well, strike it back!

 

Hey by the way. My new avatar ... What is that supposed to be ?

 

Trying to upload but got an error message.

 

It is supposed to be the reverse of what many people consider one of the most beautiful coins the USA ever made, a Mercury or Winged Liberty dime. The reverse is a fasces, a bundle of rods with a projecting ax blade, carried by a lictor as a symbol of a magistrate's power, and used as an emblem of authority in Fascist Italy.

 

Continuing the experiment.

 

That it is a most beautiful coin I agree. On it's way 2x5$ rolls purchased yesterday. A company in Vancouver USA.

 

Oooooo...fun.
