<p>[QUOTE=&quot;VT4Pac, post: 3339143, member: 94961&quot;]Its tough to tell from your pics but if you are referring to the shadowy outline of the date I believe it is either incuse die deterioration doubling, or plating disturbance doubling if it is raised. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a link where you can read about both: <a href="http://www.error-ref.com/?s=plating+disturbance+doubling" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/?s=plating+disturbance+doubling" rel="nofollow">http://www.error-ref.com/?s=plating+disturbance+doubling</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Both of these are common on copper plated zinc cents. One thing you will notice is that this always seems to happen in the direction closest to the rim of the coin. I think its because of the tension/stress on the thin copper plating. On the mintmark the plating is already split exposing the zinc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m no expert though, someone please correct me if I&#039;m wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
