Is this a double die? 1998 penny

I'm not sure what type of error this is.

sorry about that...

 

Not a D.D., Could be a die clash. Do you have a better pic?

 

The damage is on the outside of the die (the field) not touching the devices. So it is die damage. Could have been from a harsh cleaning or from a feeder finger scratch on the die.

here is a better pic...

here is a better picture of the coin error

 

It could also be raised or damaged plating.

 

Hope this pic is better...

let me try this again...

 

Same thing that was said earlier. Results of a die gouge, or a raised or damaged portion of the plating.

Thanks,
Bill

 

I think it's from the feeder finger like coop said/

That's a possibility. A feeder finger could have damaged the die face.

 

Do you guys think it could possibly be a bubble under the top layer?

 

This might be a better picture

Usually a gas bubble is not straight. They are more irregular.
