<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 8330889, member: 92655&quot;]Let me just offer this. I am a collector of old coins and am not nearly as well schooled on modern errors as some here on the board….. Beginning in 1982 the Cent changed from copper to zinc with a micro-thin layer of copper. And that presents some anomalies of its own, but they aren’t typically regarded as mint errors. It is quite common to see what appears to be a shadow image on these newer cents due to that thin copper layer….. And I’ll offer this as well. If you truly have doubling on a cent it will be on all the lettering around the coin like the one below. If a die shifts, it affects all the lettering. Think of it like the wheel on a bicycle. The entire wheel turns. This makes the doubling consistent around the coin…… Now again, I’m not the board error expert and hopefully some of the knowledgeable error guys will correct anything wrong that I said here.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1476707[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
