Wondering if anyone can help decide if this 1941P penny is a doubled die or just machine doubling. Ive seen a few on ebay claiming to be a ddo-002 that look very similar but im not to confident with the seller by looking at few of his other coins he has forsale.
It's die deterioration above the UST. Your lighting highlights it well. DDO-002 is a strong doubled die and the doubling is counter clockwise. You would know you had it. Check out the images: http://varietyvista.com/01a LC Doubled Dies Vol 1/1941PDDO002.htm I take that back. It could very well be push doubling.
I looked at push doubling and it does indeed look like it but i was looking on varietyvista.com and this really looks like the 1941P DDO-007 stage b they have listed . The 9 has the same lite doubling. And the R in liberty has that same bump it. Maybee jus a later die state?? Am i going crazy lol or are my eyes playing tricks on me lol any input would be appreciated.
