Remember, mintmarks are struck in relief, meaning they are elevated off the surface of the coin, so anything that comes in contact with the...

Typical, shelf-like machine doubling. Keep searchin'! ;) -Brian
Too far gone to attribute, IMO, but if you can, you're a magician! Well, at least you know it's a Chain Cent. ;) -Brian

Nice seeing you too, Lynn. Be sure to stop by Penny Lane again in the near future, and thanks for sharing with us your vast knowledge on popular...
Neat! I oughta try this sometime! :) -Brian
Looks more like die deterioration doubling, IMO. ...But one thing's for sure - It's not a DDO. -Brian
