    Is this possible proof penny ..
    The reason i say that is the slight doubling on the reverse in united...... 20210218_073136.jpg 20210218_074030.jpg

    "Doubling" has nothing to do with it possibly being a proof coin. Proof is a method of manufacture. A proof coin has mirrored fields and a sharp strike with squared edges. The rims of this coin are rounded.
