Hello, can anyone advise me on the attached 1959 Lincoln cent. I am paricularly interested in what appears to be the beginning of additional numbering above the Number's " 9,5, and 9. Would this be considered, machine doubling? I thank you in advance for any advise you can offer. Roland
Maybe I'm getting old or blind or could be both but I can't tell anything from those pics, let's see what other's see. Dave Ps. I'm not being sarcastic I'm being honest.
I definitely see something going on with the 5. I'm not a doubled die error coin collector, but it does look like the left corner of the 5 is doubled to the northwest.
There is too much shadow in the pics to see anything clearly. There may just be some surface issues above the date but from these pics I see no doubling.
