    What is the proper name for this type of error? For those curious, my best guess is it from 1889. IMG_7843.JPG IMG_7844.JPG

    It has been doubled struck. It did not properly eject and the edge was struck by the Die a second time. Shame about the wear.

    Just double struck.. not doubled. That is only used when describing a Doubled Die.

    I don't know about the IHC in question. Could be Broadstruck but I'm not sure.

    Typo, probably auto correct.

    It's a damaged cent, not a double strike
    or a partial blockage.

    Another coin was simply pressed into this
    coin at 6:00 on the reverse. See the flattened
    area from this occurrence on the opposite side.

    It's a damaged coin, not an error of any type.
    Sorry......

    Now that you mentioned this I believe I see 2 letters on the reverse. They are indented and not raised. Thank you for the correction Fred.
