Found this 1947 D coin roll hunting. Look on the reverse ,the wheat stalk to the left. The right side of that looks like there's an extra line to the stalk. You can see it fade away if you follow that line towards the bottom. It looks wider too than the right stalk. I looked at other 1947 D cents and they don't have that I can't find it on any of the other sites so I come to the professionals who I've learned so much came so far overcame many obstacles and still don't know what I'm doing. Lol but I'm serious side what is going on with that is that doubled?
Count the lines in both sides appear to come to the same number in the photo , but you can count the coin/ The 2 exterior ones on the right seem as if slightly fused, but no other difference shows. On the obverse, the LIBERTY shows distinct die deterioration doubling (extremely common and considered as a - rather than a plus. IMO, Jim
Looking at some MS Wheat Cents I see that the first inside line runs out straight across from the top of the U. Your cent has seen a lot of wear and tear. I think what you see is normal for a cent in circulation that long.
You don't miss much with that trusty microscope, do you? The way some of you guys have been going at it with those I sometimes wonder how I ever learned to enjoy this hobby without one, but somehow I did.
Die Deteroration Damage occurs probably 10,000X more frequently than a true doubled die. SO figure thats it until strong proof shows for a true doubled die coin, IMO, Jim
The true challenge of any coin collector should be to find a coin that is exactly to design specifications. Wait, every coin that is released from the US Mint meets the design acceptance criteria or it wouldn't be released. The criteria includes variables that too many people recognize as errors. These anomalies are not errors. they are standard manufacturing variables that are designated as acceptable. And, the closer you look the more obvious the variations become.
Thanks everybody there's never a day that goes by that you always learn something new especially in this business It keeps going and going and going. Oh and fast Eddie I don't use a microscope all I got is loops different sizes never got around to buying one don't know if I want one I'd be hounding you guys with every pimple on a coin LOL
All coins have errors. Not a coin minted won’t have an error. That is if you use anything above a 10x to magnify it.
