I came across this tonight and didn't know if my eyes were tired or what. Opinions greatly welcomed! Thanks! ~ Stone
Hi Stone, Welcome to the forum, definite doubling on the MM and I think the reverse but I'll let the pros answer your question. It's late at night here, around 10pm, you'll probably get more information in the morning. ~Cheers!
I have seen this a lot, the copper around the Mint Mark has split to cause this affect, but Liberty looks to be machine doubling I am not to sure. I hope I help you.
Welcome to CoinTalk @stonehenge ! This is a good example of Die Deterioration Doubling (DDD) on the Date and Liberty. Seems like the 1992 cents have this a lot. The mint mark is showing split plating. You are seeing the zinc showing through where the platting split open. Here is a good reference to read about this: http://www.error-ref.com/die-deterioration-doubling-incuse/ http://www.error-ref.com/split-peeling-plating/
Well that first link answered my next question! I had found a 1989 that looked doubled LOL. Thank you so much for all the information ~Stone
Yep gonna have to watch for that I suppose lol Looking at other pages I think I was on Wexler, doubled die occurances are actually pretty subtle most times. ~Stone
