<p>[QUOTE="XanthenX, post: 3237840, member: 97195"]I am rather stumped by this 2000 D One Cent specimen that I've held onto avoiding it's inspection for almost 3 months. Interesting is that appears to show a whole array of apparently different types of possible hub originated doubling and to varying degrees. It almost looks like instead of a doubled die at all that it could be a 2000 D struck over a 198#'s specimen. The reverse reminds me of the 1982 DDR-001 when I inspected the E in UNITED. The designer's initials are faded and it is nearly impossible even physically with a 16X loupe to perceive the G of FG and the F appears rotated slightly and of an incorrect design style known from that year. There is notching on the reverse devices especially on the last S in STATES and on the obverse the spread on liberty is strong and due North though my images are too poor to accurately display the oddities this coin possesses. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am very inexperienced grasshoppa in comparison to some sensei masta here. Likely it's explained by some simplistic, obvious conclusion such as a worn, deteriorated or over polished/greased die, but it certainly appears to my untrained eye to be a strange specimen indeed. Much thanks to all of those who participate in educating a rookie with a passion for hunting and documenting Lincoln One Cent varieties!! Ive included the most significant photos of those of quality i could manage to take with my substandard equipment. If more are needed post in a reply and I will promptly update.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]846852[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]846856[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]846855[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]846853[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]846860[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]846861[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]846862[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
