Is there doubling here? There are so many things going on with this coin I dont know where to point to first! look at "states" ive never seen this on a coin before anybody know what it is?http://m76.photobucket.com/albums/j...ile Uploads/?action=view¤t=IMG_0676.jpg http://m76.photobucket.com/albumvie...926.jpg.html?action=view¤t=IMG_0926.jpg http://m76.photobucket.com/albums/j...ile Uploads/?action=view¤t=IMG_1385.jpg http://m76.photobucket.com/albums/j...ile Uploads/?action=view¤t=IMG_2604.jpg
see if these work better and this one link will take you to the album with 12 different shots of it thanks for looking at it http://s76.photobucket.com/albums/j36/widemouthmason/coins/
Can't see much in the pics but it is probably the common copper plating problem. It is highly common for the copper plating to seperate away from the edges of the letters and numbers and showing the zinc metal where the copper breaks away.This happens during the strike when the copper coating gets stretched too much near the letters and other design.
Good call I didn't know that that's probably what it is and maybe some machine doubling? Probably not worth more than a penny lol
Tough to make out anything worthwhile. Lots of coins exhibit some sort of doubling, however, you need a 500x microscope to see it. The variations that you can see clearly with the naked eye command lots more in terms of value.
The 1992-D cent is NOTORIOUS as far as I'm concerned for having lots of machine doubling. Mostly on the Reverse. I live on the west coast and get them all the time. But you might want to get a better pic anyways, because there is always the off chance there is a doubled die out there. Not likely IMO for that year/mint, but possible.
Thanks, forgot about the date/mm area. You are correct. I was thinking of where the plating tends to be off on the reverse around some of the lettering, and the memorial sides, bottom, etc. Looks nice when MS, but as oxygen gets to it, it "rots" IMO.
BadThad there may be more to this 1992D cent than we think. I think this one needs more study because there are so many of them showing up that are identical to each other. I have a few of them and have been taking some of them back to the bank. from now on I'm going to start saving them. I know that when a die is worn out it keeps on making coins that are identical to each other but this one looks like more than just a worn out die.
