This is a normal cent, so no real need to send this out to a TPG for grading and attribution. Besides, you could spend less to have one of the...
Thanks Bradford! These are better. Two things I am looking at on your coin relative to the pictures at Wexler's site. The G and the O. Look...
Thanks. Still too blurry. To identify this as a DDO, you will need very crisp photos.
Can you provide a enlarged shot of GOD?
1974 is a difficult year to pinpoint a DDO. Class of doubling can be confused with the Type 1 ODV. For that reason, I don't look for DDOs for...
Nothing in this mix. It'll happen eventually. Keep at it.
Agree with the 'liberated' cent folks. You may want to measure the diameter relative to one that wasn't encased.
The explanation provided by Fred makes sense. Weak strike will not move the material around fully and may be compounded by the zinc, which is...
@Fred Weinberg Would you know if during the 80's they were using Vertical or Horizontal presses? I also suspect that this effect of the 80s has...

What do you think you see here?
Can you back out a bit to bring the images into better focus?
Sorry @Amberlarry22 - your photos are a bit out of focus. The marks by the initials appear to be going in opposite direction...but it is blurry....
Silly people live longer...I'm counting on it!!! ;)
Same as above. It's difficult to find a new variety for an old date, especially since there are a number of folks searching UNC cents for any...
I don't see it. But these aren't my specialty.
Separate names with a comma.
