I can't find an example of this anywhere but I am going to ask anyway. Is this slight doubling? I know it's not much but I am trying to figure this doubling out. To the left of the initials "LB" and on the inside left rim of the O. I think you'll see what I see on the N.
A pic of one of the few Meow found. Meow found these before they where documented. So there was a chance if Meow went through the trouble of sending them to Wexlers right away, it could have been attributed to MeowtheKitty. But is was not that important to Meow so..........
Recent doubled die ear pennies are little nubs, unlike the entire lobe one that @SensibleSal66 posted.
I have been having a hard time with the doubled dies. I was just looking at this coin and I think I see doubling. I see the separation in the serifs, but not the lines along the peaks of the device that I see on other examples of DD. I just wonder when it will click for me? Lol
Shiny pennies are hard, as they reflect the devices back from the fields and make them all look doubled at some level.
I've learned not to get too excited with my finds as I can also have difficulty differentiating between MD and DD!
MD on the 2017 cent. MD is flat and shelf like in appearance. There are many types of doubling, most of them being common and only worth face value. I can't think of a single date that's worth more than face since 1982, when zinc was used to make Cents.
Just another Zincoln anomaly, Sorry. There will be many disappointments and then suddenly Walla, a positive find. And the beat goes on... Keep on searching and asking we are all here to help one another, thanks for the post.
Please just remember that after 1982 only zinc plated cents were produced in the U.S. and many have plating issues and worn dies, so we think we see errors where they are just issues with crapy zincoln's.
Shield cent doubled dies will not have split serifs. You are looking for extra thickness, notching, and rarely separation lines. Go to Wexler's variety site and look at known examples. For doubling on a Shield reverse, I only look at LB, JFM, and E PLURIBUS UNUM. For LB, look at the B counters to see if they're the wrong shape. Since E PLURIBUS UNUM is not raised, hub doubling will decrease letter size, making it look distorted and anemic.
