The die wear on this coin is actually borderline ridiculous. It's got DDD on both liberty and the date and mint mark. The VDB is gone along with a...

Maybe more like a chipped die? The aftected section is bigger than just at the VDB. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Does this count? or were the no dvb coins in the past struck that way on purpose?[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
You know, you're right. While it is long, comparing to the other pennies, it's definitely not as pronounced as when I first saw it. I think maybe...
I think it might be the same slide the D took on strike. It was a hot part of the penny and the copper sheeth shifted. At first I thought someone...
Is this how they all look? [ATTACH]
Maybe it's just the mint mark just leaving a deeper imprint since I think they still added the mint marks separately? It would explain the...
The thought did occur to me, but it still leaves me wondering what is going on with the deep imprint. You see that black spot? it's dug in hard...
Can someone help me identify this? It caught my attention becasuse it has a DEEP imprint on the mint mark and that black spot looked like zinc...
Thank your for that! that is by far the best Close/Wide AM explanation I've seen to date. It explains A LOT in just a single simple page with...

DDD Right? I'm still wondering about that double wave around the first coin. Please forgive my repetitiveness. Part of the problem is I have yet...
My point exactly! there should be more die doubling deterioration on many of the 2001 coins. Lot's of it by what you're suggesting. But coin after...
I really do understand the idea of deterioration doubling. It's simple wear and tear at the base edge of the strike image, allowing for a "fat"...
Another thing comes to mind about double die deterioration. Deterioration would be a gradual process and there would be MANY more of these coins...
When I was a kid we used bottle caps. Smashed flat with a couple of holes and a string. Just because we were all about destruction at that age,...
Yeah, probably should have, but like the previous poster who started this thread, finding others has been difficult. But if you still think it's...
