1962 doubled date and Y

I don't know, Sheila.. they certainly appear thick, but I can't make out much of help beyond that.

 

There's a serif on the bottom left side of the 1,the bottom of the 9, the top of the 6 and barely a serif on the right top right arm of the Y. Can't see it too well in the pictures though.

 

Closest one I can find is on coppercoins.com Die number: 1 DO-005

 

There are no serifs on the date of a Lincoln cent... I'm guessing you mean notch?

 

Yes, that's the word I couldn't think of! Lol, thank you!

 

The "line" on the 9 of your coin appears to be a well placed scratch, but maybe.... If you see proper notching/splitting, that's good enough for me.

Just to be clear you're not one of them, but I get the biggest kick out of when someone swears up and down they see "split serifs" on coins with sans serif lettering/numbers. Hey, I'm easily amused.

You're welcome.

 

Yup, I can see the doubling on the date. Not sure which variety it is though.

 

You crack me up!! I too, am easily amused and confused!!! I always say " I'm a blonde. What's your excuse?"

 

I'm one too.... or, well, used to be anyway. It's the gift that keeps on giving!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

 

Lol!!!

 

Can you see the notches, here? Huh? Huh?

 

I see a split in the 9 also. Hope you found something.

 

That one is very nice and noticeable!

 

Check out this one and need more images to nail it down .

I saw the notch on the 6 and I think that's what most looks like it's a doubled date. I think you have something.

Can you see this one better on the 1 and 9?

 

On mine, if you look at the first T in TRUST, you will see a small die scratch going diagonal on the left of the T. The one on VV there does not have that.
