<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 7853272, member: 15199&quot;]Jipe, For your info, compare this cent with your previous 1971S&nbsp; where you asked about doubling. Notice how close the L in Liberty is to the rim in the 1971 compared to this coin. That is due to overuse of the 1971S obverse die&nbsp; which causes the surface to extreme slowly spread from the center to the edge. This can cause the lettering ( especially close to the edge ) to spread outward from the center of the coin and appear like doubling. This is called &quot;Die deterioration doubling&quot; and is quite common in certain years.&nbsp;&nbsp; Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
