Uncross your eyes
Also, check out "split plate doubling"

 

technical term:
Spare change

 

Split plate doubling is when a doubled image appears because the thin copper layer on a copper-coated zinc cent got stretched out and mirrors a coin's detail. I don't see that on here. Usually found on broadstrikes. Here is one I have, and many of them have it around the front of Lincoln's face.

 

@JCro57 is that a nickel struck on a clipped cent planchet? If so that is one cool coin

 

Is that not what is along LIBERTY and the date? When you google image split plate doubling an almost exact picture shows up...I believe from errorref but don't quote me on that right now since I can't check.

 

alot of pictures ==> https://www.errorvariety.com/OFD/PSD.html

they really need to have a thicker copper plating process.

 

Oh. I thought that was MD there. My apologies

 

Are you referring to the photo i posted? (What I posted is a broadstrike with split plate doubling)

 

That's not a 5 cent design, now is it.

 

sorry your profile pic. Did not mean to hijack thread.

 

What is the worth of something like that? TY.

 

$25 for a broad strike cent according to the error coins app.

 

Honestly, they look kind of neat, but they are just stretch marks. Not worth all that much.

The value depends on how thick the capping is (its "bottle cap" depth), the color, the grade, the year (some years have large batches of errors, some very few), and overall eye appeal. The one I posted would sell for anywhere from $9 - 30 depending on the day.
