<p>[QUOTE="jallengomez, post: 1750537, member: 19748"]Not a doubled die. It looks like it may have been damaged by heat. With copper plated zinc cents, the zinc core melts at a much lower temperature than the copper plating, so you can heat them up and the zinc underneath starts to melt and pull away from the copper plating. This is most noticeable in the devices. The copper sinks in leaving these collapsed style letters and numbers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
