Don't see anything, just wear. With over 118 million made the dies were for sure to show signs of die deterioration.
On page 256 of the Cherrypicker guide 4 ed vol 1.check the page out and then look were I marked on photo
Hi Jello, I agree with Rockdude on this one. On the comparison you noted, check the thicker bottom of the date of yours compared to the CPG illustration which is thicker at the bottom by the doubling effect. LIBERTY also is not as pronounced. Jim
I think itis a doubled die look at the three and the nine there's notching on the lower three and upper ninewere jello indicated MD does not have that and Die deterioration will not indicate any notching on any elements of the coin. there also could be a form of DDD on the coin also and they can coexsist on the same coin ihav seen many. Thanks Frankie boy
I don't see notching on either when magnified. It may be the appearance from the angle of the photograph, but it looks like normal "slant" of the metal. Jim
The doubling appears to be in different areas similar to a deteriorated die, not a doubled die. (see arrows in red) Here's a picture of die deterioration, notice the notching on the elements of the coin.
Yes I do Agree that there's Ddd on this coin but the three still looks a little promising to me for it to be a possible doubled die and there are some nice examples of the 1936 doubled dies in exsistance. When a coin has notching on the numbers like the three on this coin I would still not come to a conclusion that this coin is not a doubled die That area of the three is rounded and conformed this one needs a hand on view in my opinion. Thanks Frankie Boy from Brooklyn NY
I have to agree, it really looks like a case of DDD. And Desertgem's observation is right on the money, the CPG shows clear class VI doubling on the date and LIBERTY.
